I'm maintaining everything related to Doxygen, so also PHP support ;-)

I suggest to file a bug report with severity set to enhancement about  
this feature request and
include some (references to) examples of typically usages (and/or a  
link to a formal grammar).

 From what I seen so far, it should basically be enough if doxygen  
treats
"namespace X::Y::Z;", as if "namespace X { namespace Y { namespace Z  
{" had been written in C#/C++ (where the
closing }'s are all at the end of the file. Is this correct?
