#20 no autoloading in Xemacs
Contrary to the recommendation in php-mode-099.el, I
decided to put the following in my .emacs:
(autoload 'php-mode "php-mode-097" "PHP mode" t)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.php$" . php-mode))
Which really works surprisingly well iff I'm using
FSFmacs (ver 20.7.1); it doesn't work at all if I'm
using Xemacs (21.1). Instead, when I visit a .php
file, I get:
File-mode-specification-error: (wrong-type-argument
symbolp (t)).
which disappears if I comment out the PEAR stuff (why
that? well, try turning on debug-on-signal). If I do
that, however, Xemacs will load php-mode, but I'll end
up in default-major-mode. If I then M-x php-mode, I'm
where I expect to be.
In summary, the problem apparently affects only Xemacs,
and happens with versions of php-mode > 0.9.6, which is
to say that 0.9.6 works.
For the present, I can (load-library), but this is
really a poor way to do things as I have a lot of other
lisp I need to load at startup, and I would prefer to
defer loading php-mode until I visit a .php file,
particularly since I edit PHP with only middling frequency.

Seconded... I'd really prefer to use autoloads as well but
it looks like I can't.

I think the trouble is in my code for the PEAR hook, which
I've updated for version 1.0.0. Perhaps that will cure the
problems under XEmacs.
Let me know.

We're closer now. :) The first time I autoload a buffer, I
get this error:
File mode specification error: (void-function speedbar-
add-supported-extension)
(I'm not a speedbar user.) If I do M-x load-library
speedbar, the autoload works great. So it looks like all
you need is a
(require 'speedbar)
and all is well.

Yep, (require 'speedbar) should do it. See version 1.0.1.
