What is the standard format for documenting functions in php?

Question

I've written a fair few php apps in the past, but tonight is my first foray into SVN so I figured I'd also document my code properly. What's the adopted format for documenting php functions?

Obviously I could adopt my own format, but, looking forward, if there's one which can be used by documentation tools then all the better.

Cheers!

Answer 1

PHPDoc

http://phpdoc.org/

based off of Javadoc.

Answer 2

I am not aware of a standard, but you can use phpDocumentor for auto-documentation.

Answer 3

There is no one solid standard for documenting PHP. If you are working with a CMS or Framework check their documentation for any special documentation methods.

If you are looking for a suggestion for a project, the most common method I've seen in Open Source is to use PHPDoc.
