• Code refactoring commands (php-refactor-mode)
• Unit-test commands (phpunit)
• Support for laravel and composer projects (with project-specific snippets)
• File templates
• Snippets

PHP was the first programming language I got paid to code in, back in the Cretaceous period (2003). My sincerest apologies go out to all the programmers who inherited my earliest PHP work. I know you’re out there, writhing in your straitjackets.

Save a programmer today. Stop a friend from choosing PHP as their first language.

Maintainers

This module has no dedicated maintainers.

Prerequisites

PHP

To get started with PHP, you’ll need php (5.3+) and composer.

Note for +lsp:

1. In order to make full use of phpactor server, php (7.3+) is recommended.
2. If you use intelephense, node and npm are needed.

MacOS

PHP 5.5 comes prepackaged with newer versions of MacOS. These instructions are provided for reference:

brew tap homebrew/homebrew-php
brew install php71  # or php53, php54, php55
brew install composer

# If you use intelephense:
brew install node
brew install npm

Arch Linux

sudo pacman --needed --noconfirm -S php composer  # or php53, php54, php55

# If you use intelephense:
sudo pacman -S nodejs npm

openSUSE

sudo zypper install php-composer

# If you use intelephense:
sudo zypper install nodejs npm

Dependencies

The features in this module optionally depend on the following php packages:

• boris (REPL)
• phpctags (better code completion)
• phpunit (unit test commands)
• php-cs-fixer (for code formatting)

composer global require \
    d11wtq/boris \
    phpunit/phpunit \
    techlivezheng/phpctags

Ensure that \~/.composer/vendor/bin is in PATH:

# place this in your profile file, like ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zshenv
export PATH="~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"

By the way, if you use intelephense, running M-x lsp-install-server and choose iph to install lsp-intelephense.
