OK, I made a backup of my .emacs, but yours in my home directory,
modified it a little, and put the php-mode.el file that I have laying
around in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp and started emacs. It opened with
no complaints, and when I opened a file with a .php extension, it went
into php-mode and gave me the pretty colors.
The modification I made was to uncomment the lines:
(require 'php-mode)
and:
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.php\\'" . php-mode))
I would try doing that (don't use any of those other lines you added
with php-mode stuff. If that doesn't work then maybe for some reason
with your distribution you can't just drop a .el file in that global dir
and expect emacs to find it, or your php-mode.el file is messed up or
something. I don't know.
I put all my downloaded stuff into a folder in my home directory called
elisp. Then near the top of my .emacs file I have this stuff which
tells emacs to look there for files:
;;;;; set local load path for downloaded modes ;;;;;;
(defun prepend-path ( my-path )
(setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name my-path) load-path)))
;; Look first in the directory /home/bryan/elisp for elisp files
(prepend-path "/home/bryan/elisp")
I would just try doing something like this if you still can't get it to
work. Sorry I'm not more of an emacs guru. I've just played around a
bit and figured a few things out.
