Intelephense is a high-performance PHP language server implementing the Language Server Protocol, distributed primarily as a Visual Studio Code extension. It provides code intelligence features such as completion, go to definition, references, diagnostics, and formatting, with some premium features behind a paid licence.

Use cases

  • php intellisense in vscode
  • autocomplete and signature help for php code
  • go to definition and find references across a php workspace
  • static analysis diagnostics for php files
  • format php and mixed html/php files to psr-12
  • run a php language server in other lsp-capable editors

When to choose

  • you write PHP in VS Code and want fast, accurate code intelligence
  • you need workspace-wide symbol search, navigation, and diagnostics
  • you want embedded HTML/JS/CSS intelligence inside PHP files
  • you need an LSP PHP server for editors like Neovim or Sublime via npm

When to avoid

  • you need rename, code lens, inlay hints, or code actions without paying for a licence
  • you want a fully open-source language server (the server is proprietary freemium)
  • you work mainly in another language with no PHP codebase
