Currently the PHP global tags file wasn't generated by Geany, so that's 
why it has calltip info. Many of the tagmanager/ctags lexers don't 
support calltips - only C-like languages at the moment. I think we can 
add calltip support for all languages that use function_name(arguments) 
style syntax, so I'll add this to the TODO list. Having said that, it 
is a lot of work to test once implemented and iron out any important 
bugs.
