PHP support is available through the PHP extension.

  • Language Servers:

Choosing a language server

The PHP extension offers both phpactor and intelephense language server support.

phpactor is enabled by default.

Phpactor

The Zed PHP Extension can install phpactor automatically but requires php to installed and available in your path:

# brew install php            # macOS
# sudo apt-get install php    # Debian/Ubuntu
# yum install php             # CentOS/RHEL
# pacman -S php               # Arch Linux
which php

Intelephense

Intelephense is a proprietary language server for PHP operating under a freemium model. Certain features require purchase of a premium license. To use these features you must place your licence.txt file at ~/intelephense/licence.txt inside your home directory.

To switch to intelephense, add the following to your settings.json:

{
  "languages": {
    "PHP": {
      "language_servers": ["intelephense", "!phpactor", "..."]
    }
  }
}

PHPDoc

Zed supports syntax highlighting for PHPDoc comments.
