Charged php-mode recharge

PHP is like a gangsta-rap. Everyone know that it's a bullshit, but from time to time do it for living.

So, as I had to support one of my customers with an old php-project recently, I've done some fixes in the charged php-mode. There are only minor fixes of highlighting issues, like the broken methods calls highlighting, $this_ calls lack, etc.

Javish source code formatting for the php-mode

If you tried the php-mode on Emacs, you probably meet the situation that it follows the c-mode rules in the code formatting. And if then you're more OOP apologist you probably would prefer some more javish-looking source code. Good news is that you actually can get so. Emacs is a totally configurable thing.

Put the following code into your emacs config.

(defun my-phpstuff ()
  (c-set-style "awk")
  (c-set-offset 'arglist-close 0)
  (c-set-offset 'string 'c-lineup-dont-change)
  (c-set-offset 'arglist-cont-nonempty '+)
  (c-set-offset 'case-label '+)
  (c-set-offset 'comment-intro 0)
  (c-set-offset 'defun-close 0)
  (c-set-offset 'cpp-macro 0)
  (c-set-offset 'knr-argdecl 'c-lineup-dont-change)

  (setq tab-width 4
        c-basic-offset 4
        c-hanging-semi&comma-criteria nil
        indent-tabs-mode nil
        c-cleanup-list '(scope-operator)
        c-comment-only-line-offset '(0 . 0)
        c-backslash-column 48

        c-hanging-colons-alist nil
        c-hanging-comment-starter-p nil
        c-hanging-comment-ender-p nil
        c-indent-comments-syntactically-p nil
        c-tab-always-indent t
        c-comment-continuation-stars "* "
        c-label-minimum-indentation 1
        defun-prompt-regexp nil
        )
  )
(add-hook 'php-mode-hook 'my-phpstuff)

This will provide you a correct 4-spaces indentation for all of your constructions. If you prefer tabs instead of spaces, change indent-tabs-mode nil to indent-tabs-mode t and you'll have it.

Charged php-mode for Emacs and something more

Case the official maintainers of the php-mode seems to be busy people I public it here.

This is a charged php-mode for Emacs. I mean it's the freshest php-mode with some fixes/updates/improvements which I've written for myself and now I share with you.

It's based on the latest php-mode version 1.4.0-beta and contains all the original features and adds some new

1) Fixes in the code highlighting, especially in_the_underscored_functions
2) Added the php's built-in functions highlighting
3) Added the php-doc tags highlighting like @param @return, TODO, FIXME etc.
4) Added a hotkey and functionality to execute the current php-buffer with usual C-c C-c command
5) Added a hotkey and functionality to execute the current buffer with the phpunit util (C-c C-p C-u command)
6) Some another highlighting fixes/improvements

This is the screenshot (click to see the full version). Hope it's not too much beautiful to you ;)

And as I mentioned there's more

There's another sweet stuff for php-editing which had to exists but somehow didn't. It's a php-electric mode. Similar to another -electric modes for emacs, it put some hot magic under your fingers and creates language constructions for you when you type.

Try, you will like it. It's simple but handy and have the following features

* autocompletion for the if/for/foreach etc blocks
* autocompletion for the classes/interfaces/functions
* autocompletion for paired symbols like [] () "" ''

You can get it here

Both files might be easily inserted into your system. Just put them where emacs can see them (say in ~/.emacs.d/) and insert into your emacs config couple of strings like that.

(require 'php-mode)
(require 'php-electric)


That's it have fun!
