Comment 2 for bug 988109

good idea! I set the default mode using
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.php$" . html-mumamo-mode) auto-mode-alist))

but html-mumamo-mode seems to produce the same error,

mumamo-do-fontify-2: mumamo-do-fontify m=php-mode, s/e=1263/1291 syn-min/max=1268/1289: Wrong type argument: syntax-table-p, nil
