    If you configure a VM to use as a web server, emacs can be a nice PHP editor. That way you could install Ubuntu Server on VM software, set up a LAMP stack, and SSH into it from your desktop terminal (I find this to be a nicer interface than working directly on the VM).

    php-mode is pretty good combined with lsp-mode. If you are editing PHP files with only PHP script I would go with php-mode. If you are using PHP files with a lot of HTML and PHP I would recommend using web-mode together with the PHP language server.
  • Very poor performance in php-mode

    I opened an issue on the php-mode GitHub repo for this very reason, you can take a look here: https://github.com/emacs-php/php-mode/issues/657. Hopefully that'll give you some workarounds at least until the bug is fixed.
