A tool to find and fix incomplete source code documentation
I have several finished, older PHP projects with a lot of includes that I would like to document in javadoc/phpDocumentor style.

Currently, I'm using HTTP/Basic Auth for proof of concept/development, but this is not good in production for obvious reasons(ugly, insecure, can't read from mysql db, sucky).

Compare XML in PHP without hashing
I am reading an XML feed and would like to compare to an old version to check for updates. My problems at the moment are that I can't seem to make a copy of a SimpleXML object and the other problem is I'm not sure I can directly compare them.
