Please submit any bug reports or feature requests by creating issues on the GitHub page for PHP Mode.

Note

The latest version of PHP Mode supports Emacs 29.
Please feel free to write to disucuss if you have problems upgrading to Emacs 29.

Installation

PHP Mode works with Emacs 26.1 or later. For details on supported versions, see Supported Version. Emacs 28 or later can be installed simply by running the following command.

M-x package-install php-mode

By adding MELPA to package-archives, you can extend Emacs with many packages from the web.

If you don't want to depend on a package manager, you can install Lisp files directly in the traditional way. See Manual installation for our recommended setup method.

Configuration

Personal Settings

You can add configurations for PHP mode in the .emacs file (~/.emacs.d/init.el):

(defun my-php-mode-init ()
  (subword-mode 1)
  (setq-local show-trailing-whitespace t)
  (setq-local ac-disable-faces '(font-lock-comment-face font-lock-string-face))
  (add-hook 'hack-local-variables-hook 'php-ide-turn-on nil t))

(with-eval-after-load 'php-mode
  (add-hook 'php-mode-hook #'my-php-mode-init)
  (custom-set-variables
   '(php-mode-coding-style 'psr2)
   '(php-mode-template-compatibility nil)
   '(php-imenu-generic-expression 'php-imenu-generic-expression-simple))

  ;; If you find phpcs to be bothersome, you can disable it.
  (when (require 'flycheck nil)
    (add-to-list 'flycheck-disabled-checkers 'php-phpmd)
    (add-to-list 'flycheck-disabled-checkers 'php-phpcs)))

Project Setting

You can add project-specific settings by creating a .dir-locals.el or .dir-locals-2.el file in the project's root directory. It is recommended not to put these files under version control, as they depend on the packages installed in each user's Emacs.

((nil
  (php-project-root . git)
  (php-project-coding-style . psr2)))
