[Geany] Recognising PHP code (and perhaps others)

[Murray Collingwood]

Hi guys

I see your point - in the meantime I'm coding this way:

function abc($parm, // )
                  $p2,
                  $p3) {
  ...
}

This solves my immediate problem (having function names appear in the
Symbols list).

Cheers
mc
