  • A guide on Neovim's LSP client

    I'm going to use intelephense to show the minimal configuration needed to setup a language server in Neovim.
  • VSCode for PHP and Laravel
    7 projects | dev.to | 20 Aug 2023
    This is the most important extension to install for PHP support. It provides a fast language server that adds code completion, go to definition, formatting, and more. You can also purchase a license at Intelephense, which I highly recommend. It adds some additional features like renaming symbols and other code actions.
  • Replacing PHPStorm with VS Code

    I'm quite happy with Emacs, coming from PhpStorm, using intelephense.com premium. I highly recommend.

    Furthermore, depending on which integrated development environment (IDE) you use, your editor detects the strict_types and warns you inside the editor before running your code. For example, I use the Intelephense extension inside Visual Studio Code, which warns me about wrong parameters before I run the code, like so:
  • PHP LSP integration

    Helix should use Intelephense by default, so if you install that, it should work out of the box. You can find installation instructions here 🙂
  • What would be better VS Code or PHP Storm?
    4 projects | /r/PHP | 19 Dec 2022
    PhpStorm is probably the best solution if the license cost doesn't matter to you. Though I think that Visual Studio Code with either Intelephense or Devsense is incredibly Intelephense or Devsense is incredible competent for the price.
  • Any PHP programmers out there having flawless php autocompletion?
    2 projects | /r/vim | 18 Nov 2022
    I'm using LSP + Intelephense. Works in 90% of cases.
  • Am I the only one left who dislikes IDEs?
    2 projects | /r/PHP | 30 Mar 2022
    My IDE — VSCode with intelephense doesn't have "bad/incorrect" auto completion for array_reduce. It gives phenomenal auto-completion and min-reference documentation that changes several times as I progress through writing the line of code - only showing the reference relevant for the argument I'm typing now.
  • Productivity in laravel
    2 projects | /r/laravel | 21 Feb 2022
    More generally - With a little work you can get VScode to have decent intellisense for php and there are some laravel plugins to enable click on strings to access views and stuff. (For a little cash you can get the refactoring features of INTELEPHENSE in vscode which IMO is worth the small cost if you're mostly VScoding php, although not really laravel specific).

  • How to edit PHP?
    2 projects | /r/learnprogramming | 20 Oct 2021
    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?
    10 projects | /r/emacs | 16 Apr 2021
    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.
