This isn't a great suggestion because I haven't found a php mode that
I like but what I do when I am editing PHP is set perl-mode.  Since
PHP is close enough to perl the indention of it works acceptably well.
You might try something like that as a workaround.  Both vim and emacs
have a pretty good perl mode.  Vim might even have a good php mode.  I
haven't found an acceptable Emacs php mode yet.
