The calltips for PHP show again!

I do have some extra wishes here...

* When calling a function, the calltip shows, but doesn't follow the user's input. For example, if I call a function with 2 parameters, the one I'm typing should be accenturated. This way, if you call a function with lots of parameters, you can keep track of the one you're at.

* Geany could also detect if the function call is correctly closed. If not, Geany should display the calltip again. For example: I start to call a function and I have to check my code which variable should be sent to the function. When I return to the function call, I have to type a '(' again to see the calltip.

Enrico, you keep surprising me with the extremely swift and accurate bugfixes/replies/comments/etc.
