I'm getting the following warning printed on the minibuffer when I try to use php-auto-yasnippets by pressing C-c C-y into Emacs

symbol's value as variable is void: php-executable

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 with php5-cli. I did use setq in my emacs configuration file to set the variable to the proper path

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elpa/yasnippet-0.8.0")
(require 'php-auto-yasnippets)
(setq php-auto-yasnippet-php-program "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/Create-PHP-YASnippet.php")

I know this issue has been addressed with other modules but I'm not skilled with lisp programming to fix php-auto-yasnippets module. Any help is greatly appreciated

It looks like the php-auto-yasnippets code has a dependency on php-mode written by the same author. You could either follow the instructions provided in the php-mode repository for installing it and then require it ahead of the php-auto-yasnippets package, like this:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elpa/yasnippet-0.8.0")
(require 'php-mode)
(require 'php-auto-yasnippets)
(setq php-auto-yasnippet-php-program "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/Create-PHP-YASnippet.php")

Or you might instead just try setting the php-executable variable first, but not sure this will address other as-yet-unknown dependencies:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elpa/yasnippet-0.8.0")
(setq php-executable "/usr/bin/php")
(require 'php-auto-yasnippets)
(setq php-auto-yasnippet-php-program "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/Create-PHP-YASnippet.php")
