A pure PHP implementation of the Language Server Protocol that provides static code analysis for PHP in any LSP-compatible IDE. It offers features like completion, signature help, go-to-definition, find references, and hover information using the Tolerant PHP Parser.

Use cases

• add PHP intellisense and autocomplete to my editor
• implement go-to-definition and find-references for PHP code
• get hover documentation and signature help while writing PHP
• run static analysis on PHP projects from any LSP client
• build a PHP IDE experience in a custom editor

When to choose

• you need LSP support for PHP in an editor without built-in PHP tooling
• you want a pure-PHP language server without external binary dependencies
• you need standard features like completion, hover, and references for PHP

When to avoid

• you need a actively developed language server with support for the latest PHP versions
• you use an IDE with its own mature PHP analysis like PhpStorm
• you need advanced refactoring or full type-checking beyond basic static analysis
