Configure PHP-mode for Emacs

Php-mode is the mode in which Emacs is used to edit PHP source code. It inherits all the features of C-mode, complies with pear coding standards, searches for PHP manuals, complements the code, and class browsing. This section describes how to modify the php-mode.el file and configure the. emacs file to implement the automatic complementing feature of the PHP library function.
1. installation:
The PHP-mode of emaacs22 of Fedora comes with version 1.4. You can download the latest version :1.5from http://php-mode.sourceforge.net. Unzip the package to a location, enter Emacs, and use the M-x byte-compile-file command to compile the php-mode.el source file. Then copy the php-mode.elc to the/usr/share/Emacs/Site-lisp directory,

Ii. emacs file configuration is as follows:
; Load PHP-Mode
(Add-to-list 'Load-path "/usr/share/Emacs/Site-lisp ")
(Require 'php-mode)
; Automatically PHP-mode based on the file extension
(Add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist' ("\. php [34]? \ '\ | \. Phtml \' ". php-mode ))
; When developing a project, the PHP source file uses another extension
(Add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist' ("\. Module \ '". php-mode ))
(Add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist' ("\. inc \ '". php-mode ))
; Auto-completion settings, method 1
(Setq PHP-manual-path "/usr/share/doc/PHP-manual/en/html /")
; Automatic completion settings, method 2
; Method 1: Search for the PHP-manual-path directory every time you fill in the whole time. The speed is slow. You can use method 2.
; First, set the variable PHP-completion to replace PHP-manual-Path

(Setq PHP-completion-file "~ /. Emacs. d/PHP-completion-file ")

(If you do not have PHP-manual, you can download the http://www.php.net/download-docs.php on the PHP official website select your HTML files)

; Then generate PHP-completion-file on the sehll Terminal
; $ CD/usr/share/doc/PHP-manual/en/html
; $ LS-1 function *. html \
; | Sed-E's/^ function \. \ ([-a-zA-Z_0-9] * \) \. html/\ 1 /'\
; | Tr -_\
;> ~ /. Emacs. d/PHP-completion-File
; Note: Before executing this step, you must install the PHP-manual-en package: Yum install PHP-manual-en
; Set the function key of Emacs auto-completion in the Console mode to F9. You do not need to set this key if you use Emacs window mode.
; Because PHP-model only sets the function key M-tab in the window mode.
(Global-set-Key [(F9)] 'php-complete-function)

3. Modify the php-mode.el File
The function key set for PHP-mode auto-completion is m-tab, which has two problems: 1. You can use alt or ESC to input m, if you press Alt + TAB, it will be the same as the window switch key set by the system; 2. If you replace ALT with ESC, it will not be automatically completed, and the prompt "No tags table loaded; try m-x visit-tags-table ", which seems to be the auto-completion function key of C-mode. So you must modify this function key, which is implemented by modifying the php-mode.el file. Open the php-mode.el file and find here:
(Define-key PHP-mode-Map
[(Meta tab)]
'Php-complete-function)
To:
(Define-key PHP-mode-Map
[(Control tab)]
'Php-complete-function)
Save, recompile, and copy the php-mode.elc file to the/usr/share/Emacs/Site-lisp directory.
If you do not modify the php-mode.el file, you can also use the PHP-mode auto-completion feature, but you must use the menu instead of the shortcut key, because you cannot enter M-tab, however, using menus is too slow. After modification, you can use F9 to call the complete function in the Emacs Console mode, and use F9 and C-tab in the Emacs window mode at the same time.
