I’m made an experimental patch for ZendEngine/PHP, to allow native annotations in php using the @@ token (the @ was already taken).

This patch is made for PHP 5.3.5, and allows the annotation of 0 or more classes, properties, methods, and arguments for the methods.

The annotations can be accessed via the getAnnotations() method for ReflectionClass, ReflectionMethod, ReflectionProperty, and ReflectionParameter.

” Call me stupid but I still don’t see any purpose in having annotations in PHP source. ”

If YOU don’t see the purpose, it doesn’t mean other won’t also. It is a shame that PHP is the only mainstream web technology that does not offer this kind of syntactic sugar tool.

- Java has native support
- Python has native support
- Ruby – you can easily invent them thanks to blocks

shame, they would be such a good tool for DDL/DSL purposes and beyond

Call me stupid but I still don’t see any purpose in having annotations in PHP source.

I understand that having meta-data might be useful but haven’t really seen anything of use, except for a single article where the author suggests “marking” model methods as RESTable so they beocme discoverable programmatically. This I thought was quite brilliant.

Cheers,
Alex
