Your config files seems to work fine for me. Are the php-files you're
looking at opened in php-mode or nxhtml-mode? What version of emacs
and nxhtml are you using? Obviously, if you're using nxhtml you should
try to configure flymake for php a second time. 

You seem to be running windows. Are you sure that emacs can find your
php executable? What happens if you enter this line:

  M-: (executable-find "php")<RET>

Kind regards, 

Anselm
