No -- PHP doesn't have any method for declaring a function's return type.
(As of PHP 5 there is a limited facility for declaring the types of
parameters a function accepts, but still nothing for the return type.)

Your "code analyzers" might be able to determine return type using a
phpDoc-style comment. (Google: phpDoc.)
