How can I set up DW to display PHPDoc in code hints?

Go back to Designer mode and split with code...Look for a glitch where you

used PHP and find correct code in help manual.

Unfortunately, Dreamweaver doesn't support PHPDoc comments. It would be a nice addition, so I suggest you file a feature request through the form at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform. The more people ask for a feature, the more likely it is to be implemented in a future release.

Although DW CS5 doesn't support PHPDoc, it does provide code hints for custom functions and classes. The hints are automatically generated if the definition file is directly included in the current page. For definition files that are included indirectly or dynamically, set up Site Specific Code Hints. The following video I created for Adobe TV shows how to set them up: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-dreamweaver-cs5/using-php-code-hinting-in-dreamweaver-cs5/ (it's towards the end of the video).

If you give your function and class arguments meaningful names, the basic code hints provided this way can be very effective.
