This is a matter of preference, obviously, and perhaps I have an 
outdated notion of PHPDocumentor, but one of the things that I really 
like about Doxygen is that it links you right into the actual code.

It also strikes me as being more flexible -- you can use any or all of 
several different commenting styles, although this also seems to result 
in a configuration process that is relatively complex.

The impending introduction of PHP5 will change the auto-documentation 
landscape somewhat, as you'll be expressing a lot of important notions ( 
public vs private, parameter typing ) in the code rather in comments. It 
will be interesting to see which packages take the lead in this case.
