Exuberant Ctags on Mac

Question

I'm currently using vim for my PHP development. A few weeks ago I bought myself a mac, and wanted to re-generate my tags for a new Zend Framework version.

I used the following script in the past (linux machine) to generate the tags:

#!/bin/bash cd ~/www/ZF/      ctags-exuberant -f ~/.vim/tags/zend \ -h ".php" -R \ --exclude="\.svn" \ --totals=yes \ --tag-relative=yes \ --PHP-kinds=+cf \ --regex-PHP='/abstract class ([^ ]*)/\1/c/' \ --regex-PHP='/interface ([^ ]*)/\1/c/' \ --regex-PHP='/(public |static |abstract |protected |private )+function ([^ (]*)/\2/f/' 

You can see I used the "ctags-exuberant" command. The problem is that this isn't found on my system (mac). I only have the ctags command. I tried installing the newest version of the ctags library (http://ctags.sourceforge.net/) but didn't gave me that command.

The ctags command does not have the same parameters as the ctags-exuberant. So 2 questions:

• What's the difference between the 2 commands?
• How can I install ctags-exuberant or use the normal ctags command for PHP?

Thanks! Ward
