What are you referring to with "metrics"? What kind of source browsing?

Metrics...SLOC, comments to SLOC ratio's, etc...I'm aware of Dave Wheeler and his SLOCCount...something in PHP is prefered...source browser...PHP based...like phpDocumentor and/or lxr but PHP based.

Quick browsing of source trees...dependancies, etc...more features the better... :)

Cheers :)

phpDocumentor for quick browsing and source trees.

You have to compile it though.

You lost me...I already use phpDocumentor...and I've never compiled it??? :P

Although what it does is neat...I would like something a little better at hilighting dependancies...not just includes, but classes, methods, etc...

takes a little more parsing than a documentation generator I would think :)

Well, phpDocumentor has an option to generate cross-referenced source code, like Doxygen. And it is PHP based, which makes me wonder why you wouldn't want to use it.

I'd say just go with whatever language the tool comes in. There's not too much choice in this field.
