To install PHP Mode you need to choose an installation directory (for example `/usr/local/share/lisp' or `c:\lisp'). The administrator must have the write rights on this directory.

With your favorite unzip software, unzip the archive in the installation directory.

Example:

cd /usr/local/share/lisp
tar zxvf php-0.0.4.tar.gz

Now you have a `php' directory in the installation directory. This directory contains 2 files `php-mode.el' and `php-mode.elc' and another directory `docs' containing the documentation.

You need to configure XEmacs. open you initialization file `init.el' (open the file or start XEmacs then choose the Options menu and Edit Init File). Add the following lines (the installation directory in this example is `/usr/local/share/lisp') :

(setq load-path
      (append (list "/usr/local/share/lisp/") load-path))
(autoload 'php-mode "php-mode" "PHP mode" t)

The update is easy. You need to unzip the archive in the installation directory to remove the old release.

2.4 Invoke PHP-Mode

You have two possibilities to invoke the PHP Mode.

- Manually: At each file opening you need to launch PHP Mode with the following command:
M-x php-mode

- Automatically: Add the following linesin your initialization file `init.el' :

(setq auto-mode-alist
      (append
       '(("\\.php$" . php-mode)
         ("\\.php5$" . php-mode))
	 auto-mode-alist))
