Different mode for extension based on file path

Basically, I've been trying nXhtml mode, and it's terribly slow and buggy in Emacs 24.

I'm working with PHP files. I'd like to load most files with *.php as php-mode, but if a file I'm visiting is in a '/templates' or '/views' folder, load the file in html-mode.

Renaming the files or changing the project structure are not options. I am using 24.1.1. I'm sure this is possible, so a decent pseudo-code solution that points in the right direction will be accepted.

To do what you want you need to put the correct regular expression in auto-mode-alist. The following will do:

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.php\\'" . php-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("/\\(templates\\|views\\)/.*\\.php\\'" . html-mode))
