# PHP5 patch for FunctionList plugin of Notepad + +

As you may know Notepad++ is my preferred development tool for PHP, and two months back I found [FunctionList](http://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/files/Function%20List/) plugin that shows list of function in a opened PHP file, and it increased my productivity almost immediately.

Only drawback was that it showed just function list and not variables.

And today I found this [neat patch of this plugin by Geoffray Warnants](http://www.geoffray.be/blog/php/patch-php5-pour-npp-function-list)** which now makes it even better with icons and also showing variable.

This is how it looked before

This is how it looks after the patch
