Hi, What are the advantages of using phpDocumentor over doxygen (or other documentation tools) for PHP code? The advantages of doxygen for me is that I also do C++ work and standardizing on one tool would be nice. Has anyone here used doxygen for documenting PHP code? I've used javadoc before and intend to stick to javadoc-style tags even if using doxygen. BTW, I'm having trouble with the PhpDocumentor-1.2.0beta1 download (from the pear.php.net site). See below. Are these bugs or did I fail to set something up? Darren ------------------- 1. The INSTALL file says to just do ./phpdoc, but that file isn't there! "phpdoc.php" is closest but that outputs an HTML page. 2. So I moved the whole thing under /var/www/html and the web interface works. It goes through and processes the files, but then fails with this error: Sorting page elements...done directory: '/var/www/html/PhpDocumentor-1.2.0beta1/phpDocumentor/Converters/HTML/frames/templates/default/templates/media' not found That directory exists, but does not contain a file called "media". It only contains these files: blank.tpl class.tpl index.tpl page.tpl ric.tpl var.tpl That was "HTML:frames:default" I got a similar error using "HTML:Smarty:default". Same error using phpdoc.php or new_phpdoc.php. 3. Minor bug: in new_phpdoc.php pressing the "Browse tree" button resets the form. I'm using Redhat 8 and php4.2.2 RPM. I haven't (manually) installed any other pear packages - do I need to?
