#23789 [NEW]: support for a phpdoc (but doing it right)

From: bs_php at infeer dot com Operating system: All PHP version: 4.3.2RC4 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: support for a phpdoc (but doing it right) I posted this request long ago and will trying it again. After reading that the last summery of the PEAR meeting (2003-05-10 in Amsterdam) I noticed that the PHPDocumentor is now the official tool to generate the API documentation. *But* PHPDocumentor, like many other tools that need to parse the PHP code, all suffer from the same problem: Direct support from the PHP-language itself. All of these tools must 'simulate' the real PHP parser and are dammed to fail (at least on the next major PHP release). If the PHP lib would offer parsing support (see below) it would open a world of PHP tools. My basic idea is to have access to the PHP parsing results (type, line number, ...). It would be neet to hace a vituell PHP parser. Passing a file to the virtuell PHP-parser object should result in structure that can be requested by PHP itself. E.g. Arrays that deliver name, type and line number of the containing classes, class-methods, class-vars and other attributes. Similar to array get_class_methods ( mixed class_name) array get_class_var ( mixed class_name) Regards Sam -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23789&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23789&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23789&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23789&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23789&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23789&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23789&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23789&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23789&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23789&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23789&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23789&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23789&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23789&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23789&r=gnused
