As per bug #1795810, the issue has been partially resolved. Using regular expressions, the word "function" registers as a function in the sidebar's symbols pane even when it appears in the context of a comment.
For example, the following code will register two separate functions:
<?php
class Example() {
/**
* Dummy Method
*
* This function does absolutely nothing.
**/
function dummy() {
// ...
}
}
?>
In the symbols pane, the following will be visible:
Classes
Example [3]
Functions
does [8]
dummy[10]

Could you file this in the CTags bugtracker against the CTags PHP parser which is used in Geany. Or you improve the used regular expression by yourself and send in a patch. I won't work on this, sorry.
