Gently side-stepping the namespace issue, I've used phpDocumentor with
the ExtJS extension to make really nice documentation
(http://zymengine.com/dev/news/30-phpdoc-extjs-converter-template).
There are a few issues (http://code.google.com/p/zym/issues/list).
I've resolved some and supplied patches.

I've always been a fan of phpDocumentor.

I agree, it's worked very well in the past. However, it looks like it's
been a while since a new release:
http://www.phpdoc.org/news.php?id=57
My code makes extensive use of namespaces and other new features found
within PHP 5.3, and these don't appear to be supported within phpDocumentor.
Any other options?

While we don't use any 5.3 specific features such as namespaces yet, we set
up our continuous integration system to use Doxygen. It runs significantly
faster than phpDocumentor, though we put zero effort into tuning either
system.

I found this code...
if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '5.2.0', '>=')) {
$text=filter_var($text, FILTER_SANITIZE_URL);
}
...to be questionable.
Under what conditions would version_compare() return true, yet the filter_var()
be undefined? Because that's what is happening.
Thank you.

It means condition (PHP_VERSION >= 5.2.0)

If your PHP was compiled without support for the filter functions? I
assume when you say that filter_var() is "undefined" you mean that the
software returns a message that the function itself cannot be found?

Personally, I would change that to be
if ( function_exists('filter_var') ) {
$text = filter_var($text, FILTER_SANITIZE_URL);
}

So would I:
*But it's not my code.
*I wish to learn and understand the cause of the problem - not walk around it.
>It means condition (PHP_VERSION >= 5.2.0)
I understand that. There was a second, more relevant, part to my question.
I have found the version of PHP used as reported in the HTTP header responses.
filter_var() is undefined in PHP/5.2.4_p20070914-pl2-gentoo

As Paul pointed out, maybe your version of PHP was built without the filter_var
function compiled in.

Thanks for the replies, they have been most enlightening. :)

This is what I have learned about PHP with filter_var() as an illustrative
point:
Many people who provide elaborations on PHP make too many assumptions or are
blatently and woefully incomplete. Statements such as "PHP 5.2.0 or higher is
required for this to work" is misleading. The PHP online manual pages for
respective functions make no distinction that any particular function or
capability is an optional include for a build - considered an "extension" as
opposed to, what?, "native code"?
I have also learned that when coding my own scripts, I must not only read the
manual page for that function, but also any metadata for it and its group, such
as the Introduction page, Installing/Configuring, etc. And where, when I
finally find it, if I can reason out that I should be looking for it, it may
say "The filter extension is enabled by default as of PHP 5.2.0", that I need
to be reasonably cautious because some idiot may build PHP 5.2.0+ without this
extension.
Are the array_*() functions also an optional extension?
