function argument

[paperino00]

Hello, what kind of argument is there in this function ? I don't understand PhingFile...
thanks

PHP Code:

public function setFile(PhingFile $file) {
    $this->file = $file;
  }

Its a typehint. It will only accept objects of datatype PhingFile into the function arguments.
