Your ~/.vim/after/plugin/matchparen.vim was run after the
plugin/matchparen.vim from $VIMRUNTIME. (Plugins are loaded when Vim is
starting up.)

Similarly, your ~/.vim/after/syntax/php.vim will be run after the
syntax/php.vim from $VIMRUNTIME. (Syntax files are loaded as-needed.)

So, it won't show up in :scriptnames until you open a PHP file.
