Have you installed https://github.com/emacs-php/php-mode ?

How to edit PHP?
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).

Emacs PHP mode?
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.

How to manually install emacs packages? I am unable to acess github
The packages available via the built-in package manager once configured do not come from GitHub though they may be developed there. They come from GNU ELPA NonGNU ELPA and MELPA. You would still need internet access though.

Use Portage instead of package.el for managing Emacs packages
To install elisp packages system-wide under the Portage control you can use gs-elpa. Read layman documentation before using it, as gs-elpa represents ELPA repositories as g-sorcery overlays. It currently supports 4 repositories: gnu-elpa, marmalade, melpa and melpa-stable.

melpa mirror on air-gapped network
I run emacs at work on a system that does not access the internet, so I cannot utilize the package interface that pulls directly from melpa (and elpa etc). Years ago, someone copied a version of melpa into a local directory on the air-gapped server. In my init.el, I setq package-archive to something like (("local-melpa" . "/path/to/the/melpa/dir")) so that it points to this local directory. I'm wondering if there is a tool to facilitate this sort of mirroring? I would like to update my packages on this air-gapped network. I am able to copy files onto the system from a less restricted workstation with internet access. Is it just a matter of unzipping the melpa repo and pointing package-archive to the fresh melpa directory?

Emacs *Network Security Manager* reporting 'certificate has expired' that...hasn't.
I get similar connection-security messages when attempting to connect to the package archive at https://elpa.nongnu.org/ —again, in both *Package* and in *eww*—while elpa.gnu.org seems to be just flat out nonresponsive. However, other https sites including https://duckduckgo.com/about and https://twitter.com work just fine.

Requests for packages to add to NonGNU ELPA?
I am working on adding more packages to NonGNU ELPA, the new package archive enabled by default from Emacs 28 onwards. Compared to GNU ELPA, there is no need for a copyright assignment (the only requirement is that packages do not endorse non-free software, but that is the case for most Emacs-related software to begin with).
