Document your PHP projects with PHPXRef

Tuesday, 25 July 2006  

PHPXref is a handy developer tool, written by Gareth Watts, which cross-references the source code in PHP projects and creates readable HTML documentation which can be viewed with any web browser. The main features of PHPXref are:

  • No web server required to view output.
  • Cross-references PHP classes, functions, variables, constants and require/include usage.
  • Javascript search and instant lookup of classes, functions, constants and tables.
  • Pretty output of PHP source files.

PHPXref requires Perl V5.6 or later to run and is available in Linux and Windows flavours. The Windows edition even includes the required Perl libraries, so installation is a cinch.
