PHP code cross referencer (phpxref)

[Mihamina Rakotomandimby (R12y)]

Hi,
I would like to "cross reference" a PHP project.
I found phpxref (http://phpxref.sourceforge.net/).
Do you use it? How do you feel it?
Would you know another tool?
Thank you.

I've never seen this before. The highlighted cross-referenced source code
it produces looks awesome. The file summaries however seem quite weak.

If you've not already, take a look at phpDocumentor <http://phpdoc.org>.
This is great at the file summaries, and provides highlighted source code,
but doesn't do cross references in the source code.

And example of where phpDoc wins over phpxref would be:

<?php
class A
{
function foo() { }
}

class B extends A
{
function bar() { }
}
?>

With phpDoc there will be a page produced with documentation for class B
and it will include "foo()" in the list of methods for that class.

It would be nice if there was a way of plugging them in together so that
your output would use phpDoc for most stuff, but phpxref for the
highlighted source code. Has anyone tried that?
