In order to  type mapping has to occur in php comment, the comment 
procedure should be changed. So now it is used as

/*
* @param PT  V
* @return  PT
*/

where PT - PHP Type  & V- value

Therefore when we are going to map php types to XSD types , Is it better 
to use

/**
* @param XT PT V
*
*/

where XT is XSD Type. And there is an alternative way

/**
* @param PT V XT
*
*/

The latter seems better since it is according to the php doc comments style.
