PHPDocFill is a simple tool that allows you to easily complete your PHP script documentation in PHPDoc format
It was written with one simple purpose: filling up holes in your documentation. Have you ever needed to write PHP code so fast that you didn't have time to properly comment it? When you need to catch up, your only option is usually to open up every single PHP file and figure out by yourself what needs to be completed. On top of that, if your IDE doesn't support automatic creation of PHPDoc-like documentation comment blocks, you'll probably be annoyed by the syntax (/ ... ... /). PHPDocFill suppresses all these annoying steps and makes documenting your code a whole lot easier.
PHPDocFill comes as one unique PHP file that you place in a folder containing your PHP projects.
It scans the current folder and subfolders to find .php files and offers you to complete their documentation easily. PHPDocFill also allows you to generate a simple HTML manual, but bear in mind that when it comes to generating documentation, it will not fully replace powerful tools like PhpDocumentor. The manual that PHPDocFill generates consists of a simple index of the code elements (that you can select at the top of this page) along with their raw descriptions and tags if any. This version of PHPDocFill does not support the parsing and the proper presentation of tags. As stated before, you'll want to use a more advanced tool for better presentation.
