Doxygen: how to describe class member variables in php?

Question

I\'m trying to use doxygen to parse php code into xml output. Doxygen does not parse description of class member variables.

Here is my sample php file:

Answer 1

I had the same problem, so I've created a simple input filter which turns the basic syntax of

/**
 * @var int
 */
public $id;

into

/**
 * @var int $id
 */
public $id;

which would be redundant anyway. This way the Eclipse IDE can use the same docblock as doxygen.

You can download the input filter from here:

https://bitbucket.org/tamasimrei/misc-tools/src/master/doxygen/filter.php

See the doxygen Manual on how to use an input filter.

The tool also escapes backslashes in docblocks, so you could use namespaces there.
