Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65056&edit=1 ID: 65056 Updated by: tpunt@php.net Reported by: benjamin dot morel at gmail dot com Summary: Is there a plan for adding a ReflectionParameter::getDocComment() method? Status: Open -Type: Documentation Problem +Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Reflection related Operating System: N/A PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This is not a documentation problem - The ReflectionParameter::getDocComment() function simply does not exist. The engine currently does not support doc comments on a per-parameter basis, hence why it has not been exposed in the ReflectionParameter class.

The only mention I've found is in this post from 2005(!): http://news.php.net/php.internals/14906 This would be a very useful feature for dependency injection frameworks. For example, if you want to use annotations to configure dependency injection on the following class: class Service { public function __construct(PDO $pdo, $configuration) { } } You would need to do something like: class Service { /** * @InjectParam(name="pdo", value="database.connection") * @InjectParam(name="configuration", value="database.configuration") */ public function __construct(PDO $pdo, $configuration) { } } Whereas we could benefit from the following approach: class Service { public function __construct( /** @Inject("database.connection") */ PDO $pdo, /** @Inject("database.configuration") */ $configuration) { } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65056&edit=1
