    Ah right, so you're building a (presumably REST) API and you want to generate docs for the endpoints from your code. Slightly different scenario to what I assumed. There are a couple of libraries to generate OpenAPI specs from source files, I think this is the main one https://github.com/zircote/swagger-php though FWIW I prefer to maintain my API specs separately from the code and use those to guide what I'm building, rather than 'tother way round.
