  I am answering my own query with a partial solution:
        I added an add-hook form in .emacs *in addition to*
        the nXhtml configuration.
(add-hook 'php-mode-hook 
          '(lambda ()
             (imenu-add-menubar-index)
             (setq imenu-sort-function 'imenu--sort-by-name)))
And now the index menu is rendered in php-mode. 
One minor problem: imenu does not appear to be indexing
functions where the function name begins with '&' (the ampersand).
Not a big deal.

Perhaps this will help someone else. Any other comments are
welcomed.
