I like documenting php with netbeans, but it doesn't seem to work with dreamweaver cs5.

  • I'm confused as to what your you're asking for. There's nothing stopping you from writing DocBlocks in your PHP code. What specifically do you mean by "use DocBlocks" with Dreamweaver? – Danilo Celic Dec 08 '11 at 16:13
  • like using it as an IDE like netbeans, where you enter a function and it will pop a helper to point what kind of argument you can put in it (i'm super noob) but base on your question I guess it is possible – Briefbreaddd Dec 12 '11 at 02:38

As you are writing a function in PHP, Dreamweaver does not automatically add any comments such as DocBlocks to the code. You can add them yourself quite easily, I'd suggest adding a Snippet with the basics of a DocBlock.

Dreamweaver can pop up code hints for PHP functions; it gleans what should be presented to the user from the actual PHP code itself, that is from the function signature, not from any comments associated with the function. See this video that show a bit of PHP hints. So it seems that for what it appears that your trying to ask: no, you do not get code hints from DocBlock in Dreamweaver, but you do get PHP code hints.

  • the video provided the informations concisely for what I need, as it seems dreamweaver can work as an IDE but for documentation it still lack DocBlocks capabilities. tx – Briefbreaddd Dec 14 '11 at 06:22
