js-mode

Although js-mode is NOT a mode for PHP editing, this mode is included in Emacs, so it is useful in environments where additional packages can not be installed.

For example if you are a server engineer, for example if you are logging into a customer’s server and reading the code.

(unless (or (featurep 'php-mode) (featurep 'phps-mode))
  (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.php\\'" . js-mode)))
