PHP

Syntax highlighting and language basics for PHP — extend with Open VSX for full IntelliSense and debugging.

What ships built in

Gunamaya includes basic PHP language features: highlighting, simple validation hooks, and editor integration for .php files. That is enough for quick edits; large applications usually want a richer language server.

Install a maintained PHP language extension from Open VSX (search “PHP”). Pair it with your local PHP runtime on PATH and, for debugging, an Xdebug-capable debug adapter from the marketplace.

Project tips

  • Keep php available in the integrated terminal so Composer and scripts run the same way as outside the editor.
  • Use a task for composer test, PHPUnit, or your framework's CLI.

Built-in vs. extension

The bundled PHP support is intentionally light. Prefer a dedicated extension when you need completions across a large codebase or step-through debugging.
