Hi Lex

Thanks for your response.

One simple solution would be to drop the trailing bracket from the regex. 
Do you think this would be an acceptable change?

Cheers
Murray

Yes there is a regex, but its hard coded.

This is it, where ALPHA and ALNUM are the ranges you would expect

"^[ \t]*[(public|protected|private|static|final)[ \t]*]*[
\t]*function[ \t]+&?[ \t]*([" ALPHA "_][" ALNUM
"_]*)[[:space:]]*(\\(.*\\))"

I'd guess the problem is that \\(.*\\) matches anything in () after
the function name but the regex code only matches against a line at a
time and has no way of continuing the match beyond a line.

The only way to go beyond a line seems to be to use a character by
character hardcoded parser such as C uses.

In tagmanager/php.c there is a bunch of code that looks like someone
started to do it, status unknown.
