## What it is
A collection of syntactically correct PHP stub files describing the signatures, constants, and PHPDoc annotations of PHP core and standard extensions. PhpStorm and other tools use these stubs for code completion, type inference, inspection, and documentation popups.

## Use cases
- improve php code completion for built-in functions
- get accurate return types for php standard library in ide
- run static analysis on php code using core extension signatures
- use php stubs outside phpstorm for type inference
- contribute corrections to php runtime function documentation

## When to choose
- you need accurate signatures and PHPDoc for PHP built-in functions and extensions
- you build PHP tooling (linters, analyzers, IDEs) that requires runtime metadata
- you want to customize or extend PhpStorm's default stubs

## When to avoid
- you need stubs for third-party Composer packages rather than PHP core and extensions
- you need guaranteed-accurate @throws annotations, which are not validated by tests
- you need runtime functionality - stubs are metadata only and contain no implementations

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: type-system, documentation, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, programming-languages, web-development
- platform: php, cross-platform
- tags: php-stubs, ide-support, code-completion, static-analysis, phpdoc, type-inference
