Those who doubt if VS Code is really go-go for PHP development should definitely try it out and it doesn’t matter what platform you are using.

VS Code has clean and simple UI with almost no clutter.Code navigation is almost same convenient as in Visual Studio.PHP development is well supported by different plugins.

I have used VS Code for PHP development for few weeks and here are my first impressions: 2021 Adding source folder Debugging Django app In this tutorial, we will setup Visual Studio Code for. Looks impressiv considering that something like this is running on some thin code editor. Select PHP, and close the newly created launch. Take a look at this short GIF-video from plugin GitHub repository to get better understanding what his debugger can do. For this I found PHP Debug Adapter by Felix Backer (again!). Sooner or later my demands will grow and it’s possible I want to run PHP code on debugger so I can see what’s going on exactly. I don’t have big or complex PHP developments going on and PHP IntelliSense plugin is currently enough for me. Besides syntax highlighting this extension has the following useful features: I installed PHP IntelliSense extension by Felix Backer to have advanced syntax highlighting for PHP. Notice how SQL is also highlighted in string. The following screenshot shows VS Code editor and file explorer. I have PHP 5 and PHP 7 installed and configured for IIS meaning that I don’t need to run PHP directly from VS Code. I use IIS to build PHP sites on my dev box so I don’t have to keep editors and other development tools running when showing something to customer from my machine. It is installed side-by-side with stable versions and they don’t conflict with each other.
