php foreach object hint

Question

foreach ($results as $obj) {
    $this->dates[$obj->getName()] = $obj;
}

This runs fine, but PHPStorm gives the hint,

Method getName not found in class.

Seems like there ought to be a way to give it a hint about the type of the object. How do I get it to recognize that this is an instance of a particular class like we can with method parameters? Something like

foreach ($results as MyClass $obj) {

@Matei Thanks, that worked. The OP had a different question, but the answer to mine was included in the answers. — BWhite, Dec 17 '15 at 08:45

The key is not adding the Doc hint above or a type hint inside the foreach like I tried, but below the line, inside the code block.

   foreach ($results as $obj) {
        /* @var $obj MyClass */
        $this->dates[$obj->getName()] = $obj;
   }
