problemi with simple ya-snippets

[Luca Ferrari]

Hi all,
I'm trying to configure  a couple of simple snippets for PHP, as follows:

# name: foreach ... { ... }
# key: fore
# --
foreach ( \$${1:array} as \$${2:current_element} ) {
    $0
}


# name: foreach ... { ... }
# key: kfor
# --
foreach ( array_keys( \$${1:array} ) as \$${2:current_key} ) {
    $0
}


stored respectively into the snippets directory as php/fore and php/kfor.
After that I do yas/reload-all and try my new snippets. Pressing tab
has no effect, while calling M-x yas-expand works for the fore snippet
but not for the kfor. Any idea about what am I missing?
I'm running yasnippet 0.8 installed via elpa on emacs 24.3.1.

Thanks,
Luca

I'm still fightining with this snippet problem. I've found that when I
do execute yas/reload-all I got the following:

[yas] Loaded /home/luca/.emacs.d/elpa/yasnippet-0.8.0/snippets
[yas] Check your `yas-snippet-dirs': ~/.emacs.d/snippets is not a directory
[yas] Reloaded everything... (some errors, check *Messages*).

and my yasnippet installation is into ~/.emacs.d/elpa/yasnippet-0.8.0
(and "snippets" is under such directory).
The yas-snippet-directories has the following value:

("~/.emacs.d/snippets" "/home/luca/.emacs.d/elpa/yasnippet-0.8.0/snippets")

but this should not be the source of the error, I suppose.
Any idea?

Thanks,
Luca

Maybe the '~' needs to be expanded? (manually, or via 'expand-file-name').

I don't think: the directory does not exist, but the right one is the
first one ( /home/luca/.emacs.d/elpa/yasnippet-0.8.0/snippets) which
is loaded and works. I mean, all preloaded snippets are working (e.g.,
Perl), while mine are not.
The real problem is that the TAB does not expand my snippets, while
yas-expand does. Could it be something that is clashing with the usage
of TAB?
