Hacking on php-mode.el

It appears that php-mode for Emacs isn’t actively maintained any more. This is too bad, since I’m a PHP programmer who uses Emacs.

After waiting quite a while for a new version, I decided to take it upon myself to fix some of the problems I found instead.

• Class constants have correct font locking, both when declared and when used.
• The __CLASS__ constant is not highlighted as a class declaration anymore.
• __FILE__, __LINE__, __CLASS__, and __FUNCTION__ are all correctly highlighted as constants.
• Type-hinted variables passed as references (e.g. function foo(Bar &$bar)) are now highlighted correctly.

There are still issues, but I think they’re outside my Lisp programming ability, for the moment. This is certainly an improvement for now, though.

Download the patch. Move it into the same directory as “php-mode.el.”

Run: “patch -p0 < php-mode-patch-1.patch”

Byte-compile the new php-mode.el; from Emacs, run: M-x byte-compile-file – then give it the path to php-mode.el.
