Use PHP with Visual Studio Code

php Xiaobian Yuzai will take you to explore how to use PHP with Visual Studio Code. Visual Studio Code is a lightweight and powerful code editor that provides a convenient development environment for PHP developers. Through plug-in installation and configuration, PHP development can be made more efficient and faster in Visual Studio Code. This article will introduce you in detail how to configure Visual Studio Code to support PHP development, allowing you to easily control this powerful development tool.

Visual Studio Code is suitable for developers from popular operating systems ranging from windows and MacOS to linux. It is a great IDE for PHP that allows us to use extensions, source control and support tools, making php development easier .

This article discusses how to use PHP with Visual Studio Code.

Using PHP with Visual Studio Code

Install PHP

On your local PC, you can check out our article on how to set up a PHP interpreter. We discuss how to install and configure PHP on your PC.

Install Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code (VS Code) can be downloaded on the IDE's login page. The site automatically detects the operating system and provides you with the appropriate applications.

For Linux users, you can use the following command to install VS Code on your PC. You can download the executable from the VS Code site for ubuntu/Debian (.deb) and Red Hat/Fedora/SUSE.

sudo snap install code --classic

For Windows and macOS, you can go to the Windows-specific and MacOS-specific download pages. After downloading the installer, you can run the installer and you'll be good to go.

When you open VS Code, you should see this screen regardless of your operating system.

Setting up Visual Studio Code for PHP

Now that you have VS Code on your system, you can use VS Code to configure your PHP interpreter. Before that, let’s open a folder php where we can run our PHP code.

You may see a pop-up window like the one shown below. SelectYes, I believe the author

After adding the folder, you should see the image below.

Now, let us configure the PHP interpreter using VS Code to run PHP successfully. Enter the Settings page through the image below.

You should see a page with sections for the text editor, workbench, windows, etc.

In the search input area, search for php.validate.executablePath and you should see the image below. Select the link to edit <strong class="keylink"> in settings.</strong>JSON.

You should see this after clicking the settings.<strong class="keylink">js</strong>on link.

Depending on your VS Code configuration, the line where the php.validate.executablePath setting is located will be different, but in our image it is on line 19, as you can see, It is empty. So, we need the path to the PHP interpreter.

根据你安装 PHP 解释器的方式，解释器的路径可能会有所不同，但如果你按照我们网站上的安装 PHP 教程进行操作，你的 PHP 解释器路径应该是 C:\php\php.exe，但由于字符串格式，你可以像这样放置路径。你需要转义反斜杠，所以你要添加的路径应该是 C:\\php\\php.exe。

创建一个名为 index.php 的新 PHP 文件，将代码放在下面，然后运行它。

<?php

echo("Hello World");

?>

输出：

在 VS Code 上运行 PHP 代码。

现在，你可以在 VS Code IDE 中本地运行 PHP。现在，让我们加强 VS Code 以充分利用它。

PHP 扩展

扩展，有许多开发人员制作和使用的工具，可以在 VS Code 等 IDE 中轻松、更快地进行开发。三个重要的扩展是 PHP 开发的重要起点。PHP 调试、PHP Intelephense 和 PHP 服务器。

要安装扩展，你需要转到红色框指示的Use PHP with Visual Studio Code。

如下图所示，前两个扩展是帮助调试、代码完成和跨代码库引用的流行扩展。此外，Intelephense 还提供类型分析、建议、详细的文档悬停、文档/范围格式化、自动 PHPDoc 创建和智能选择以及许多其他功能。

第三个扩展是 PHP 服务器，顾名思义，它帮助我们将 PHP 项目服务到浏览器。

你需要做的就是单击安装按钮，我们通过 PHP 支持极大地改进了我们的 IDE。尽管 VS Code 内置了对语法高亮、基本调试和代码缩进的支持，但它们对于大型代码库和集成来说已经足够大了。

使用 PHP 服务器，你不必编写 CLI 命令来启动 localhost，只需几个步骤即可轻松完成。首先，你按Ctrl+Shift+P，写 PHP server project，然后按 Enter。

要停止服务器，请按 Ctrl+Shift+P，输入 PHP stop server，然后按 Enter。
