Anything better than PHPDoc out there? [closed]

Answer 1

Another option other than phpDocumentor is Doxygen documentation with PHP support.

Answer 2

I´ll go for doxygen too.

Here are several reasons :

• compatible with phpdoc tags and other popular ones : it´s interoperable
• works with various programming languages : a better time investment
• there is alternative syntaxes : can choose the commenting style that suit you
• very efficient with advanced formating / tagging / metadata
• there is a GUI that is not linked to any IDE and an eclipse plugin as well

And still free, multiplatform, and open source :-)

It´s easy to learn, but harder that phpdoc because a lot richer.
