regex - Notepad++ function list PHP not working if the function name begins with reserverd words -

the function list plugin notepad++ working fine, except function name starts "for / while / if".

for example have functions in form-class. start "form" (e.g. form_information). function name won't show in function list, because functionname starts 'for'.

has same issue, or maybe solution in regex this?

this regex , xml of php function list.

<parser id="php_function" displayname="php" commentexpr="((/\*.*?\*)/|(//.*?$))"> <classrange     mainexpr="^[\s]*(class|abstract[\s]+class|final[\s]+class)[\t ]+[a-za-z_\x7f-\xff][a-za-z0-9_\x7f-\xff]*([\s]*|[\s]*(extends|implements|(extends[\s]+(\\|[a-za-z_\x7f-\xff][a-za-z0-9_\x7f-\xff]*)+[\s]+implements))[\s]+(\,[\s]*|(\\|[a-za-z_\x7f-\xff][a-za-z0-9_\x7f-\xff]*))+[\s]*)?\{"     opensymbole = "\{"     closesymbole = "\}"     displaymode="node">     <classname>         <nameexpr expr="(class|abstract[\s]+class|final[\s]+class)[\s]+[\w]+"/>         <nameexpr expr="[\s]+[\w]+\z"/>         <nameexpr expr="[\w]+\z"/>     </classname>     <function         mainexpr="^[\s]*((static|public|protected|private|final)*(\s+(static|public|protected|private|final))+[\s]+)?(function[\s]+)+([\w]+([\s]+[\w]+)?([\s]+|\*[\s]+|[\s]+\*|[\s]+\*[\s]+))?([\w_]+[\s]*::)?(?!(if|while|for|switch))[\w_~]+[\s]*\([^\{]*\{">         <functionname>             <funcnameexpr expr="(?!(if|while|for|switch))[\w_]+[\s]*\([^\{]*"/>             <!-- comment below node if want display method parmas -->             <funcnameexpr expr="(?!(if|while|for|switch))[\w_]+"/>         </functionname>     </function> </classrange> <function     mainexpr="^[\s]*function[\s]+\w+\("      displaymode="$classname->$functionname">     <functionname>         <nameexpr expr="(?!(if|while|for))[\w_]+[\s]*\("/>         <nameexpr expr="(?!(if|while|for))[\w_]+"/>     </functionname>     <classname>         <nameexpr expr="[\w_]+(?=[\s]*::)"/>     </classname> </function> 

thank time!

i have looked @ %appdata%\notepad++\functionlist.xml, , looks problem if|while|for|switch checked without word boundaries around. need add word boundaries in proper places. see modified first <function> node:

<function     mainexpr="^[\s]*((static|public|protected|private|final)*(\s+(static|public|protected|private|final))+[\s]+)?(function[\s]+)+([\w]+([\s]+[\w]+)?([\s]+|\*[\s]+|[\s]+\*|[\s]+\*[\s]+))?([\w_]+[\s]*::)?\b(?!(if|while|for|switch)\b)[\w_~]+[\s]*\([^\{]*\{">     <functionname>         <funcnameexpr expr="\b(?!(if|while|for|switch)\b)[\w_]+[\s]*\([^\{]*"/>         <!-- comment below node if want display method parmas -->         <funcnameexpr expr="\b(?!(if|while|for|switch)\b)[\w_]+"/>     </functionname> </function>  

the poi \b(?!(if|while|for|switch)\b) - word boundary before negative lookahead , right after alternation group match these words whole words.
