Geany does add local variables (declared within a function 'functionName() {' scope) to the symbol viewer.

$bVar = true;
function setVar() {
  $bVar = true;
}

adds 2 'bVar' variables to the symbol viewer with different line numbers. This is IMHO the correct behavior.

Declaring a variable in the function declaration doesn't add these variables to the symbol viewer. IHMO(again) that's an inconsistent behavior...
