Re: @access - newbie question

phpDocumentor's handling of @access is pretty non-committal with the assumption that PHP 5.0 will be rigid in its definition of access. Obviously, once access is hard-coded into objects, the @access tag will be irrelevant. What phpDocumentor does with @access is assume that any @access private objects are low-level and possibly confusing for the purpose of documenting a package for users to use. In other words, when generating user-level API docs, extra, confusing information is filtered out by default. To change this, either remove the @access tag (or specify @access protected/public, @access is public by default) or parse with the --parseprivate command-line.
