PHP Documentation tools

PHP Developers are known for their messy coding style and poor documentation practices. This is starting to change as PHP5 takes hold and web developers are writing code more like the standard Java Developers would expect.

Writing your code neat and tidy with good documentation really helps set you apart from the hundreds of dodgey PHP programmers out there and makes things much easier for yourself!

Fortunately for you, there are some good PHP Documentation Tools out there for you:

PHPXref
PHPXref is a developers tool, written in Perl, that will cross reference and extract inline documentation from a collection of PHP scripts. It generates simple HTML output suitable for browsing offline.

phpautodoc
phpautodoc aims to be for PHP what Javadoc is for Java.
