How to get Emacs PHP mode?

CoderMan · 05-12-2009, 05:04 PM

I'm running Debian Lenny i386 with emacs22-nox (I don't like X11 emacs). Does anyone know how I can get php-mode syntax coloring? I've got coloring for a bunch of other languages, but 'M-x php-mode' does nothing.

Tutorials on-line usually say install the 'php-mode' package, but I can't find it, or a similarly named one, in the repos. This is what is currently installed on my system:

i emacs-goodies-el - Miscellaneous add-ons for Emacs
i emacs22-common-non-dfsg - GNU Emacs shared, architecture independent
i emacs22-el - GNU Emacs LISP (.el) files
i emacs22-nox - The GNU Emacs editor (without X support)

I've got the php-mode-1.5.0 package manually installed on FC10.

All I did was unbzip2ing it in

/home/myuser/php-mode-1.5.0

then I edited my .emacs to contain

Code:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/php-mode-1.5.0")
(load "php-mode")
.
.
.
(add-hook 'php-mode-hook 'hs-minor-mode)

Now, when I open a .php file in emacs, it is syntax colored...

If you want the package, mail me at lq at polard dot com and I'll send it to you.

Hope this helps!

Code:

alucard@karrde:~$ apt-cache search php mode emacs
html-helper-mode - A popular HTML editing mode for emacs
jed - editor for programmers (textmode version)
php-elisp - Emacs support for php files
xjed - editor for programmers (x11 version)

I'm guessing it's the third one.

I am using Debian, here is what I installed to get php-mode on emacs:

apt-get install php-elisp

Now, even without a .emacs file setup the php syntax coloring is correct.
