PHPDoc, PSR-5 and commenting inside the code

Also note that the tools ecosystem (IDEs and static analyzers such as PHPStan and Psalm) generally support more detailed types than you'll find in the RFC or the "official" PHPDocumentor project documentation, and they're continually evolving.

PHPDoc
I've noticed this syntax around - is there any "official" place where it comes from?
2 projects | /r/PHPhelp | 26 Sep 2022

The original implementation, if I'm not wrong, was created by phpDocumentor, then it merged its codebase with a competing tool and now many programs contribute with their own annotations and formats.
Test your docblock code examples.

Another future project would be to see if it could be integrated in https://www.phpdoc.org/
What is the @ inside comments?
1 project | /r/PHPhelp | 1 Jun 2022

These are PHPDoc annotations. In addition to their original purpose of documenting code for humans, they're used by a range of other tools and IDEs to aid with things like type detection and other code enrichment.
Where can I find more information about how to write this type of comment about the different params and parts of a function? Example included

I think the original tool that implemented those annotations was phpDocumentor (if it wasn't the first, it was certainly among the pioneers), inspired by Javadoc. The original purpose was to generate documentation but, as it got popular, IDEs followed suit and started using annotations to provide code intelligence features. As of today, it's also used by code quality tools to identify potential bugs.
