I've seen several PHP files where there are some special characters at the beginning of a doc block.It starts with /**#@+ some doc-text */ and ends with /**#@-*/.
What do these symbols mean?
I found that this seems to be used in various PHP frameworks (Zend, phpseclib, Magento) but couldn't find an explanation.
Example:
/**#@+ * Constants for keys of data array. Identical to the name of the getter in snake case */const ID = 'id';const CUSTOMER_ID = 'customer_id';const REGION = 'region';const REGION_ID = 'region_id';const COUNTRY_ID = 'country_id';const STREET = 'street';const COMPANY = 'company';const TELEPHONE = 'telephone';const FAX = 'fax';const POSTCODE = 'postcode';const CITY = 'city';const FIRSTNAME = 'firstname';const LASTNAME = 'lastname';const MIDDLENAME = 'middlename';const PREFIX = 'prefix';const SUFFIX = 'suffix';const VAT_ID = 'vat_id';const DEFAULT_BILLING = 'default_billing';const DEFAULT_SHIPPING = 'default_shipping';/**#@-*/
