Phpactor is a PHP language server and refactoring toolkit providing code completion, navigation, and code transformations. It can be used standalone from the CLI or as a backend for editors like Vim and Emacs.

Use cases

• get intelligent PHP code completion in vim
• refactor PHP code from the command line
• jump to definition and find references in PHP projects
• auto-import class names while coding PHP
• generate classes and methods in PHP
• run a language server for PHP in my editor

When to choose

• you edit PHP in Vim or Emacs and want rich IDE features
• you need standalone PHP refactoring and introspection tools
• you value code actions and refactoring breadth over raw performance

When to avoid

• you need the fastest or most accurate PHP language server available
• you develop on Windows without WSL
• you want a fully maintained project with active performance work
