I need help with phpDocumentor

ppowell

I downloaded phpDocumentor successfully and am attempting to use it via the instructions in the tutorial at http://www.phpdoc.org/docs/HTMLSmartyConverter/default/phpDocumentor/tutorial_phpDocumentor.howto.pkg.html#using

However, to no avail as I attempt

. \phpdoc

Per instructions, my terminal window immediately collapses each time. I've also referred to http://www.pear.php.net/package/PhpDocumentor/download in the PEAR documentation on phpDocumentor as well trying to figure this out, again, (no surprise eh?) to no avail.

Has anyone ever used this documenting tool before, if so, I could use a bit more guidance than the tutorials seem to give.

Thanx
Phil

are you working in windows or linux? have you attempted to modify the phpdoc/usr/default.ini file to fit what you're wanting to do?

Working in Linux and I think I got it. turns out I can only use the command-line PHP script "phpdoc.php" and generate the docs from there.

Thanx

OK I am just a beginner with the package also but I did get it running with the html interface.

First copy the files to a directory your local webserver can access ( I used both iis & apache on my local development machine ) ie off the webroot directory.

Then run the new-phpdoc.php file using your web browser at address localhost://thedirectoryyouputthefilesin/new-phpdoc.php

That's what worked for me.

Hope that helps
