My filetypes.xml in /usr/local/share/geany doesn't list any mappings
but I guess the mappings are defined in the filetypes.html file
because of this tag: [styling=HTML]

In filetypes.html there's a quite different definition than yours,
probably after the change on November 9th[1]

php_default=default
php_simplestring=string_1
php_hstring=string_1
php_number=number_1
php_word=keyword_1
php_variable=preprocessor
php_comment=comment
php_commentline=comment_line
php_operator=operator
php_hstring_variable=string_2
php_complex_variable=preprocessor
