Any way to do PHP function summary/comment?

Postby RicardoPaulinski » August 17th, 2012, 3:22 pm

Hey. Was wondering if there was any way to add summarys to PHP functions so that intellisense could make use of them. I've tried the usual:

///<summary>
///This is a description of my function.
///</summary>

but no luck :(

Maybe it's not supported in PHP Tools for Visual Studio yet?

Hi!

In PHP there is different syntax of documentary comments - called PHPDoc.

It looks like this
Code: Select all
/**
 * Short summary.
 *
 * Long summary.
 * @return array Returns an array of items.
 */
function foo(){}


More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHPDoc

PHP Tools supports this syntax, reads type hints from comments and helps you while typing comments by showing possible keywords after @ and making smart indentation inside PHPDoc text.

Hi Ricardo,

Jakub's right, PHPDoc is standard comment type. Is this some kind of PHP comment type you've seen in other PHP IDE?

Thanks

Ricardo seems to be referencing the XMLDoc stuff you use with C# in Visual Studio.

One note, would it be possible to take the Zend Studio approach to phpDoc comments and sort of pre-fill them based on the arguments it finds for a function? If you're not familiar with it, I can make a short video of what it does...

Yes, we are planning this feature. Once you type /** before a function declaration, it would complete the whole PHPDoc skeleton, with parameters name.

This feature has been implemented, and will be available in the next update.
