OK, from this, when editing a php file I get
:echo b:match_words
(:),{:},[:]
and :verbose set matchpairs? gives
matchpairs=(:),{:},[:]
However, on my desktop with the latest vim when I do the echo I get this
<?php:?>,\<switch\>:\<endswitch\>,\<if\>:\<elseif\>:\<else\>:\<endif\>,\<while\>:\<endwhile\>,\<do\>:\<while\>,\<for\>:\<endfor\>,\<foreach\>:\<endforeach\>,(:),[:],{:},<:>,<\@<=[ou]l\>[^>]*\%(>\|$\):<\@<=li\>:<\@<=/

This obviously explains the difference in how things work. Could it be
just the version of vim that is causing the problem or something else.
About the version, I know it is old, I know it needs updating, I know
there are bugs in it but I also know there is nothing I can do about
it. It isn't getting upgraded which is why I would like a fix for
this. If it isn't possible then as long as I know that it isn't I can
live with it but not knowing is very frustrating. Every other machine
I use has up-to-date versions, it is just this one machine.
