Problem is, that (even if you fix it) , it will be available in distros in next few years. Which means you can forget about efficient documentation system. > Not sure whether there are other things to consider and whether there's > a reason. If ZEND_ARG_INFO provides info for reflection, what is the sense to provide only part of it? Number of required arguments is a nice thing, even human readable argument names are. But both are quite useless to make real documentation. Anyway, I can provide access to doc_comment via own extension, but would be cool if there's something wrong with this member. Piotras
