yes, your semantic explanation is correct: I need to generate php code
that calls specific mysql functions to recreate the structure of a mysql
table.

phpmydoc seems to only generate documentation, as far as I understand...

the generated php code I have in mind would be used, e.g., in an
installation procedure to generate (or, more interestingly, update) the
tables of the database.
