It is most definitely not the case. php mode, like javascript mode, is a
mass of confusion and conflicting/competing modes out there all branched
and at various levels and maintained by numerous authors. One glance at
the wiki pages tells you all you need to know about the state of
multi-mode/"web tech" mode programming in emacs : its far from
straightforward and the "shipped" modes seem to generally be shunned as
opposed to adopted.
