Hey PHP and Intelephense friends - I have a newbie question.

Is there any way to find *all* the problems in my code without manually scrolling through?

For example, I've found this "declared but not used" issue. I want to see all instances of this error across all my project's files.

Is that possible?

@nemith Thanks for the tip. I have worked with #Neovim for a long time and am therefore quite familiar with it. However, despite having fewer plugins, it has always been considerably slower than #Vim9. Additionally, the LSP architecture is painfully slow and dependent on other language servers running in the background and listening on UNIX sockets. This is acceptable with gopls. Unfortunately, 90% of my work still involves #PHP and all the PHP language servers are poor. #Intelephense, which I purchased, is even proprietary and was often unable to validate my licence.
I was so frustrated that I gave up on Neovim because it offered me no added value compared to Vim 9. Moreover, 89% of what LSPs do can also be provided by #ctags, without the need for a buggy and slow Node.js Language Server.

#phpactor vs #intelephense

This was a useful summary
https://yarnaudov.com/phpactor-vs-intelephense.html

Although last time I did this test phpactor's performance noticeably lagged and that post does not talk about performance at all. I *want* to use phpactor because it's #openSource

Which is best for you and what do you like about it? There's PHPStan too but I'm never sure if that's something different or an equivalent. Boosts welcome

πŸ€” Looks like I have to write a free, open source PHP language server myself - without php and Javascript of course. PHP really is still an awkward language for professional, modern development... Pity.

Could it be that neovim (v0.10.4 as well as v0.11) on Debian somehow has problems with the LS's it launches to perform web requests?

Intelephense tries to POST "https://intelephense.com/activate" to activate my licence key and fails. I have no problems with curl here. Any ideas?

Is there a good way to debug why the intelephense v1.14.3 LS on node v22.14.0 can't activate/check my valid license key in neovim v0.10.4/v0.11 on a fresh Debian? Works on other machines.

My simplified kickstart lua config:
```lua
local servers = {
....intelephense = {
........init_options = {
............licenceKey = 'some valid key',
........},
....}
}
```

I agree on #phpstorm, but #vscode with #intelephense, #php-cs-fixer and #xdebug will get you a long way - that is the combo most of my colleagues use

@godlike I'm currently switching between #Intelephense (paid) and #PHPActor -- I'd love a combination of both. :)

@dantleech @phpactor

I've set up #neovim with #phpactor (p) and another with #intelephense (i) I used Mason to install each.

What I noticed:

- The calculated root_dir fails for (p); it uses PWD

- BOTH give me signature help and completions (p) is slower and seems to crash on providing signatures for completion.

- BOTH let me jump to definition, though (i) is noticeably faster at this.

- Far fewer diagnostics from phpactor (no static analysis? Perhaps I need to add PHPStan as well?)

I use #intelephense as #lsp plugin in #neovim but I think @phpactor has some features it doesn't.

I tried it once before and can't recall why I went back to just intelephense. Possibly CPU/memory limitations.

Can anyone offer a comparison? Perhaps you use them both at once? How does that work out?
