vscode-intelephense VS Phpactor

Intelephense is a "freemium" LSP. While it provides basic functionality for free, features like variable renaming and code actions require a $25 USD lifetime license.

I'm going to use intelephense to show the minimal configuration needed to setup a language server in Neovim.

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.

You need to get the code, and use an IDE to help like vs code + PHP Intelephense (https://intelephense.com/)

I bought a license key to Intelephense https://intelephense.com/, and added the key as described in the documentation and several blog posts (at least I think I'm doing it right), however the paid features (e.g. rename symbol) don't work.

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

Follow this guide to configure and add PHP Intelephense.

The error itself is the VSCode extension Intelephense, that is usually very helpful when writing PHP in VSCode, telling you that there is an error with an Undefined type ... after you have followed the steps outlined here in detail to install the permissions package on your Laravel app.

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:

Helix should use Intelephense by default, so if you install that, it should work out of the box. You can find installation instructions here 🙂

PHP Actor is a free alternative that includes the core features you'd expect from an LSP.

# Download phpactor.phar curl -Lo phpactor.phar https://github.com/phpactor/phpactor/releases/latest/download/phpactor.phar

The other path is a pull request on https://github.com/phpactor/phpactor/pull/1991 which takes care of the lsp side of things.

Even I'm a PHPStorm user. I still have neovim installed and using there PHPActor: https://github.com/phpactor/phpactor

Or use phpactor/phpactor with a template to always get it right.

Now experimenting more by exposing public properties of a Livewire component via https://github.com/phpactor/phpactor in blade files.

Im using this https://github.com/phpactor/phpactor with ncm2 with ale. Im quite happy with it.
