note 96431 added to reflectionclass.getdoccomment

The code getDocComment() is not as effective as it seems, a method with a well-crafted regular expression, can solve some problems that this method does not address, for example: Some comments that begin with "/ *" will not be returned in a file too extensive. The method below shows how you can use a regular expression to get better results. This code snippet captures the comments in a file. "Php" and replaces it with an empty string, ie "cut" the comments of a class: public function getComments() { $expr = "/((?:\/\*(?:[^*]|(?:\*+[^*\/]))*\*+\/)|(?:\/\/.*))/"; $filename = $this->fileDir; //file directory $file = fopen($filename, "r"); $length = filesize($filename); $comments = fread($file, $length); preg_match_all($expr, $comments, $matchs); //capture the comments foreach($matchs[0] as $id => $variable){ $comments = str_replace($variable,'',$comments); // replace the scores of empty } fclose($file); $file = fopen($filename, "w"); $file = fwrite($file, $comments); } ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 200.225.77.3 (proxied: 127.0.0.1) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/reflectionclass.getdoccomment.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/96431 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96431/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96431/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96431/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96431/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96431/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96431/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96431 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/96431 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
