Because code and documentation are meant to be together.

phpDocumentor is the de-facto documentation application for PHP projects. Your project can benefit too from more than 20 years of experience and setting the standard for documenting PHP Applications.

The project was founded by the core contributors in their spare time. They did this work in their spare time, for free. May frameworks and other projects are using phpDocumentor libraries under the hood. Our type-resolver and docblock parser are one of the most downloaded packages on packagist. Having that said, if you ever wrote a unit test, used Symfony, Laravel, or tools like phpstan and rectorphp. You are indirectly having benefit from our passion for open source.

Supporting us will help us to cover the costs we have like:

• hosting
• email
• tooling

But also allow us more time to work on these projects and realize our dream of a full-blown documentation framework. That will not only support many projects in the PHP ecosystem. But also helps you to keep your documentation up to date with less effort.

Our goal is to be able to create a complete package of project documentation, including:

• code API docs
• guides
• tutorials
• easy linking between documentation sets.
• versioned documentation
• project site generation

Support us now! And help us to realize your dreams of up-to-date documentation!
