Description: ------------ @param: "datatype should be a valid PHP type or "mixed"" @return: "The datatype should be a valid PHP type, a class name for the type of object returned, or simply "mixed"." @var: "datatype should be a valid PHP type or "mixed."" The fact that class names are specifically mentioned in @return and not in the other two, and "valid PHP type" isn't explicitly defined anywhere leads to a bit of confusion, at least for me.
