## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: editor, parser, linter, formatter, search-engine
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, text-editors, programming-languages
- platform: editor-plugin, cross-platform, windows
