Answer 3

The most widely used documentation standard in the PHP world is PHPDoc. It is derived from JavaDoc. A large number of IDEs support PHPDoc, which means they can automate documentation and you can gain code completion and other features from it.

Several tools exist to autogenerate documentation from PHPDoc code annotations. PHPdocumentor already mentioned elsewhere is the most prominent, but you can also use Doxygen which allows for a wider range of documentation formats
