PHP editor with Emacs bindings
 

I'm usually quite happing coding in Emacs. However, Emacs22 php-mode does a bad job of handling indentation when there is a mix of HTML and php. (No wise-cracks from the vim guys, please...) Is there another editor out there (X11 or console) that 1) has emacs key-bindings and 2) does a decent job of handling php coloring and indentation?

I tried jed, which I overall liked, except that I didn't really like the color schemes available (even with the extras package installed). And sometimes the coloring would get mixed up in strange ways, for example, part of a variable would be colored and part of it would not.

I can't suggest a better editor for this, but you might want to look at http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/HtmlModeDeluxe to see if it helps html mode and php mode get along better.

IMHO Emacs just sucks for anything HTML. The single major mode idea is so embedded that even the numerous attempts to remedy it turn out to be slow and half-baked. (Sorry to say, Vim really does rule in this regard; the ability to highlight arbitrary syntax within arbitrary syntax was an excellent design decision.) Some editors support Emacs-like keystrokes to a certain degree, some better and some worse (mostly worse). It's been a while since I've used it but IIRC Eclipse had some decent Emacs keybindings, to the point of using e.g. C-x C-s to save, C-x k to close a tab, etc. That may be a good choice for you. Or maybe try Vimacs? http://www.algorithm.com.au/code/vimacs/ I don't know, I've never tried it.
