  • I can't find ob-php anywhere. I think it is not supported in babel org-mode.

    https://github.com/stardiviner/ob-php I just copy paste ob-php.el into my init.el so I can execute php code. The author of ob-php wrote 'I put it in Org-mode contrib/ now.' but I couldn't find it int org-mode files. Any ideas how highlighting can be done? Maybe from other packages?

  • Maybe it's been added to a new version of org-mode that isn't bundled with any version of Emacs yet.

  • You need to add opening tag <?php for syntax highlighting to work

ob-php is now in Org mode contrib and available through the org-plus-contrib package in Org ELPA.

You can install this package by adding Org ELPA to your package-archives list in your init file:

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)

Then you can install the org-plus-contrib package by opening the package manager (M-x list-packages), locate the package (C-s org-plus-contrib RET), mark it for installation (i), and finally actually install it (x). (It'd be nice if the package module offered an install-package command but until it does, you'll have to go through this process.)

If you don't want all of contrib, then you'll have to grab ob-php directly from the Org mode Git repository (direct link) and load it yourself from your init file.

  • It should be noted that with the latest version of Org mode, ob-php breaks due to a recursive require of org on line 17 of ob-php.el. This line should be commented out and the compiled ob-php.elc file removed in order to get things working again.

    Going forward it appears that ob-php will be removed from the new org-contrib ELPA package after Org 9.5 is released.

With the current versions of php-mode and org-mode, PHP syntax highlighting in org code blocks happens by default.

The version of org-mode in Emacs 26.1 includes this support. For earlier versions of Emacs you can install a newer version of org-mode from its ELPA repository.

So if you have at least Emacs 26.1 for php highlighting in org-mode you need to just install php-mode.
