I noticed the current PHP feature includes multiple VS Code extensions with overlapping functionality:
- PHP Intelephense (
bmewburn.vscode-intelephense-client) - Provides Intelephense PHP language server
- PHP Extension Pack (
xdebug.php-pack) - Includes zobo.php-intellisense PHP language server
- PHP Tools for VS Code (
devsense.phptools-vscode) - Provides another PHP language server
- PHP Debug (
xdebug.php-debug) - Included in xdebug.php-pack
Since this configuration hasn't been updated in about 3 years, I'm wondering if all these extensions are still necessary. Having three extensions providing identical core functionality (IntelliSense and debugging) might cause multiple language servers to conflict with each other and create an unnecessarily bloated feature.
Would it make sense to clean up the extension list to reduce redundancy and potential conflicts?
Thanks for considering this suggestion!
