Bug Description

afineman@caviar:~$ emacs -q -l nxhtml/autostart.el
------
I open a new file '/tmp/foo.php' and start typing the following:
=============
<html>
<head>
<title>foo</title>
</head>
<body>
  <?php var_dump(
=============

As soon as I type the '(' character, I get a backtrace:
===========
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument listp set-from-style)
  c-electric-paren(nil)
  call-interactively(c-electric-paren)
===========
This is a clean build of emacs-23.2, on Ubuntu Server 8.04.4.

Thanks for the bug report, Adam.

This looks strange. I believe it is a bug in cc-cmds.el, but I am not sure. Could you please report this as an Emacs bug so we can get some information about that?

So this is a bug in php-mode.el. I do not maintain php-mode.el, I just send it with nXhtml for convenience.

I do not know what to do with this. No one is currently maintaining php-mode.el. There has been discussions on Emacs Devel mailing list about this. The problem is that not all authors that contributed to php-mode.el has been signing papers for Emacs so php-mode.el is useless as even a starting point for a new php-mode.el.

It would be good if someone wrote a new php-mode.el and contributed that to Emacs. Anyone interested in doing so should take this up on Emacs Devel for instructions.

I am closing this bug.
