I want to setup my development environment using vscode. However, I am confused on that would be the difference between intelephense and phpcs. I have the code in Github from my company and it has the .phpcs.xml.dist. I believe this file is for phpcs. It works already but I missed the intelephense code formatting and autocomplete feature. Can someone help in elaborate more on the difference between these 2 and do they conflicting each other should I installed both of them in my vscode.
TIA

Intelephens have lots of feature, but most people use it for auto format code file.
Intelephens uses PSR12 as default standard Sortcut Key [Shit + Alt+ F] it also format HTML, Css, Js. It detect PHP version from your Host envirment and show you code warnings and systex error.
If your Dev team use PHPCS then you may need to use PHPCS vscode extension.
Not sure about Intelephens can detect .phpcs.xml.dist from your project. Your team may have CICD Pipline to check code stadarad (via phpcs) and fix them (via phpcsf)
or reject PR via Bot!
Both are the best way to reduce None standard code.
if you are using opensource then use styleci it's free for public repository.

I have VSCode installed, but don't seem to have php - i.e. there is no "php.exe" anywhere on my computer. No guides that I can find on the web about setting VSCode up for PHP suggests that I need to download and install php itself seperately (only debuggers and linters)... my question is:
Do I need to install PHP seperately? Should I have had to do this, or is there a bug in my VSCode installation...
Yes you need to install PHP from the php website and then tell VSCode where PHP.exe is located.
VSCode is an editor not an interpreter.
I think if you install PHP at the default location VSCode will automaticly pick it up but if not you need to specify its path in options.
If you install XAMPP you will get apache,php and mySql in one installation.
EDIT: an interpreter is software that translated your code(in your case PHP) into code that the CPU can understand and then executes.
#kpollock it' not you. Yes, it should seem obvious that the language should be installed manually or separately, so you should have gotten that part, sorry. But no, there doesn't seem to be information anywhere about defining the underpinnings. This "understanding" seems to be left to the individual through research as you're doing.
After I installed PHP I manually set my environment PATH to include the PHP folder. OR in VS Code you can go to menu>File>Preferences>User Settings, the settings are maintained as a JSON object (unlike VS) and there is a PHP section for the .exe path.
Since you mentioned Node, you may not have installed Node.js manually. (I don't know if Node comes with VS Code either.) It might have come in with a VS2015 extension like Gulp or some other higher-level functionality, or maybe it was an installation option with VSC. If you can't use node or npm from a console, set your environment PATH to include it.
I am using sublimetext3 unregistered . I want to know how can I configure sublime to show unused and undefined variables in php .sublimelinter-phplint does some useful work but it cannot recognise autoloaded classes that can be very irritating while development .I am looking for some package that can do it with file scope.
I have following packages already installed
sublimelinter
phpcs
3.sublime-phpcs
Is there anyother package that can be userful in developement ?
http://phpmd.org will show unused code. there is a SublimeLinter-phpmd extension as well. Just install both SublimeLinter and this extension, open the User preferences for SublimeLinter, and reduce the phpmd rulesets to just "rulesets": "unusedcode" to avoid over reporting on conventions and such you might not use.
SublimeLinter works quite well but for php I use an extension :
https://github.com/SublimeLinter/SublimeLinter-php
You need SublimeLinter 3 for this : http://sublimelinter.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html
Which i see you already have! ^^
Appart from that.. Another IDE ? ^^
A Note about another editor which has a LOT of tools.. ATOM
There is an IIS server with the XDEBUG extension installed, running a PHP application. I can't change nothing on this server. Sometimes, the dev team here needs to debug it, without changing code. Just put some breakpoints and execute it step by step.
I can do it from my computer using Eclipse and remote debugging. But I would like to create a Debian server, in a VM, to make it easy for anyone with just a browser to place breakpoints and step debug that server, without needing to set up an environment.
I tried many Web-Based IDEs (codiad, cloud9, etc), but they don't offer XDEBUG integration. Is there any web-based IDE that I can install in my own server that offers PHP debugging? Please read this paragraph again and don't answer with spam
Or, is there anyway I could run something in the server side such as Sublime Editor, Notepad ++, or whatever, and see it running in a browser? Maybe a Java applet.
Any bright ideas will be very much appreciated! Thanks!
We just released support for debugging PHP with Xdebug inside Cloud9 IDE.
You can place breakpoints (normal or conditional), step over/in/out, set watch expressions, view the call stack, and inspect variables and values. There's also an REPL mode to evaluate code directly.
It's ready to try, but please make sure the correct dependencies are installed on the workspace by running the following commands:
$ npm install -g debug
$ sudo apt-get install php5-xdebug
Set your breakpoints, then click Run > Run With > PHP (cli) to start the debugger and PHP CLI script.
Would love to hear what your feedback is. Our goal is to add support for debugging PHP web pages and Python soon. The implementation is available open-source on GitHub (https://github.com/c9/c9.ide.run.debug.xdebug)
I also made a quick demo video to show you how it works.
I'm founder of Cloud9, so expect extreme bias.
If you are a decent (or better) coder, I have a solution for you. We already have an implementation of XDebug in javascript here: https://github.com/ajaxorg/lib-phpdebug. It might need a bit of updating as it was written for Node 0.6. It does support the latest xdebug.
In addition, we've just released an SDK that allows you to write plugins for Cloud9. Find more info here: http://cloud9-sdk.readme.io/v0.1/docs/getting-started-with-cloud9-plugins. It allows you to install Cloud9 on your own computer or server and you can develop plugins there. You can also distribute your plugin(s) via c9.io and use the SSH workspace feature to have Cloud9 automatically connect to your VM over SSH.
We just released the (pre-alpha) version of the SDK and are actively supporting the handful of developers on the mailinglist here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/cloud9-sdk.
Implementing a debugger for Cloud9 is actually fairly straightforward. Someone recently built a C++ debugger, which is still in PR here: https://github.com/c9/c9.ide.run.debug/pull/4. You only need to implement one class, the debugger implementation as documented here: https://docs.c9.io/api/#!/api/debugger.implementation. Since there's already an implementation of the xdebug protocol, tying these things together should only be a few days of work.
I hope this helps.
I just downloaded and installed Prestashop, which is a PHP e-commerce system.
I also downloaded and installed XAMPP and Aptana , an open source IDE for PHP development. It uses MVC of some sort. (Sorry, I am completely new to PHP).
It looks ok, I can access the site and the changes I perform in Aptana are reflected in my localhost website.
Now I would like to debug the execution, Aptana has an built-in debugger and it works for a test example I downloaded from the internet (here). It works.
But when I try to set the breakpoint in the Prestashop project, it does not suspend the execution. Also, when I click on a link, the debugger stops.
I really have no idea how to set it up. Do you have any experience in debugging PHP? How can I set it up? I would be fine to change the IDE, if it helped me debugging this system.
Thanks,
Oscar
Prestashop has some good debug code built in already.
In config/config.inc.php change the define for _PS_DEBUG_SQL_ to true (you can also turn error reporting on in here) and in config/defines.inc.php set the define for _PS_MODE_DEV_ to true also.
Use Netbeans to debug your prestashop. In Netbeans you can use Unit Test or etc. check Netbeans tutorial for detail
I watched the Creating a weblog in 15 minutes with Rails 2 and after 9 minutes in the video he shows ruby's interactive debugger, which allows you to call functions/methods from within a running script.
This goes way beyond breakpoints and looks very useful.
Is there something for PHP that gives similar functionality?
Install xdebug and then use one of the debug clients mentioned here.
Although Milen's answer is the only correct one circa 2009, and Xdebug is still a useful tool, using it requires you to recompile your PHP or to edit your php.ini runtime configuration to load it as a shared object. It also means using a specific client application that supports its network protocol, such as an IDE like PhpStorm.
An alternative is phpdbg, which is an interactive debugger that ships with PHP core versions 5.6 and later and can debug PHP scripts written to conform to PHP 5.4 or later.
Using it is simple:
phpdbg php_script_i_want_to_debug.php
Once in the debugger, type help to access the help menu.
If you don't already have phpdbg on your system, it may be because your PHP was configured without the --enable-phpdbg option. You can either:
Recompile your PHP, being sure to add --enable-phpdbg when you run ./configure (this will simply also build the phpdbg binary), or
download the phpdbg source independently and compile it against your installed PHP (assuming you have the PHP source available). Instructions for doing that, while sparse, are here.
