Agreed; info for anyone interested - the PHP parser used to be
non-regex based, but was changed 'to support PHP 5 syntax':
http://ctags.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ctags?view=rev&revision=487

BTW there's a 'fix' in ctags r729 for parsing tags from comments:
http://ctags.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ctags/trunk/php.c?view=log

But not being a PHP user myself, I can't say if it's OK to apply for us.

Regards,
Nick

Sorry -- I don't understand what this means to me?  and does the same thing apply to Javascript?  that's really the language I'm hoping to add the feature for..
