KDevelop version 4 does have a fairly advanced php parser and error reporting 
as you suggest.  It could always use some help though, so if you're 
interested, you could contact the kdevelop list (kdevelop-devel@barney.cs.uni-
potsdam.de), myself or even the developer who works on php support for 
kdevelop - Niko Sams (niko.sams at gmail.com)

Cheers,
Hamish.
