This is a called an auto-completion.

This is called a calltip.
(just for clarity)

As I just said in the other reply in this thread, it's currently not
supported by the PHP parser we use (based on the one from the CTags
project).

The difference to the standard PHP API is that the standard API tags
are created from the a list of the PHP API. See
http://git.geany.org/geany/tree/scripts/create_php_tags.php for
details. So the detailed argument list information come from PHP's
funcsummary.txt and are stored in Geany's php.tags (usually found
in /usr/share/geany/php.tags).

Enrico
