Adding own "functions"

Question

When I write stuff in PHP using dreamweaver in the code view.
When I use a function such as imagecreate(), as soon as I hit the
first open bracket I get a help tip showing up showing me whats
required.
Is it possible I can create my own of these? I use alot of
custom written functions all the time in my web development but I
would like to have Dreamweaver recognise these as functions and
display the help tip.
Im currently on Dreamweaver MX, but I'm willing to upgrade if
this is possible on later versions?

I also had the problem of wanting to use custom javascript that I could call from an Edge Animate Composition.
The solution I found (from a post by hemanth kumar r https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1479495) was to make variables and functions properties of AdobeEdge.
So in the external .js document a variable is declared and given a value:
AdobeEdge.myVariableName = "The variable value";
To use it in a symbol/element:
alert(AdobeEdge.myVariableName);
And a function is declared:
AdobeEdge.myFunctionName(param){...function code...} //param optional
To call these in a symbol/element:
AdobeEdge.myFunctionName(param);
To test this out I created a button on my stage that called a function in my custom .js file that simply called an alert. Once the function works you can expand it to do anything you want (I used it to go to a new html page).
