New Comment:
Actually just had another thought on this.
There are actually two bits of information I want to know when hovering
over a function (this would happen on ANY function that happens to be a
link).
1) A short summary of what the function does (as previous comment)...
i.e. 'array_fill' would give the tooltip: "array_fill â Fill an array
with values"
2) The function definition, i.e. "bool in_array ( mixed $needle ,
array $haystack [, bool $strict ] )"
I'm sure you are aware that you can get large tooltips WITHOUT using
javascript. Just in case you wanted to make a non-javascript based
tooltip for maximum compatibility. i.e. I don't think the HTML 'title'
tag will be a solution for us.
The whole tooltip for in_array() therefore, might be:
"
SUMMARY: array_fill â Fill an array with values
DEFINITION:
bool in_array
(
mixed $needle,
array $haystack
[,bool $strict]
)
"
I think I would faint with excitement if this was ever implemented...
sorry for being so geeky lol ;)

Description:
------------
The functions are listed on the lefthand side of the web page in the
php.net function reference. For example at
(http://php.net/manual/en/function.in-array.php) you will see a list of
functions on the left.
It would be superb if when hovering over one of these function names a
tooltip would appear showing the short description of the function.
e.g. hovering over 'array_fill' would give the tooltip: "array_fill â
Fill an array with values"
Thanks :D
