File mode specification error

Hi,

I'm getting the following error when opening a PHP file or when trying to enable php-mode manually.

I'm using:

• GNU Emacs 28.1 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.33, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2022-05-31
• php-mode 1.24.3
• PHP 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.11

Looks like this is because php-mode-debug-install is called without the required force arg.

My inclination would be to make the force arg optional and default it to nil, so that feature remains available to anyone who's relying on it but the current usage asks users if they want to reinstall php-mode instead of erroring.

@zonuexe , does that sound reasonable to you? Is there some other approach you'd like better?

[zonuexe]

@VernonGrant Sorry, this is a php-mode bug. Please use M-x php-mode-debug-reinstall manually.

[zonuexe]

@VernonGrant Feel free to reopen the issue if the issue is not resolved.

@NateEag Thank you for your support!

[NateEag]

@zonuexe sure thing! Glad I could be a little help - you've put so much effort into php-mode over the years. :heart:

@zonuexe @NateEag I really appreciate all the work you guys are doing, thanks for resolving the issue!
