I figured out how to set it up for my local user account. There's a way to set it up so that all users get php-mode, but I haven't played around with that.

1. mkdir ~/.php-mode

2. download the php-mode.el from http://sourceforge.net/projects/php-mode/ into your ~/.php-mode/ directory.

3. Run emacs and type "M-0 M-x byte-recompile-directory RET ~/.php-mode/ RET". This will byte compile php-mode.el into php-mode.ecl.

4. Edit your ~/.emacs file by adding these two lines:

Code:

(setq load-path (cons "~/.php-mode/" load-path))
(autoload 'php-mode "php-mode" "php editing mode." t)

5. Close emacs and run it again to re-read your .emacs file.

6. Open a PHP file and type "M-x php-mode".

I know, this isn't obvious. I had a tough time finding instructions on how to do this. There are ways of automatically putting Emacs into php-mode when you open a .php file, but I haven't figured that out yet.

Hope that helps!

To autoload your php mode, I think you need something like this:

(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.php$" . php-mode) auto-mode-alist))

or you if you use php mode pretty much exclusively

(require 'php-mode)

which will load up php mode whenever you start emacs.

this might help you:

Code:

lackluster@lackluster:~$ cat .emacs
(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it!
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 '(case-fold-search t)
 '(current-language-environment "ASCII")
 '(global-font-lock-mode t nil (font-lock)))
(custom-set-faces
  ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it!
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 )

;; HTML-MODE
(load-library "html-helper-mode")
(load-library "hhm-config")

;; JAVASCRIPT-MODE
(load-library "javascript-mode")

;; PHP
(load-library "php-mode")
(add-hook 'php-mode-hook 'auto-fill-mode)

;; Config
(setq backup-directory-alist `(("." . , "/home/lackluster/.emacs.d/backups")))
(setq inferior-lisp-program #'/usr/local/bin/clisp)
