PHP Extensions For VSCode | How To Install PHP Extension In Visual Studio Code | Simplilearn

hello everyone and welcome to simply learn in this video we will discuss some php extensions that can be and should be added in visual studio code to make php programming a little easier and a life's a little simpler so without further ado let's open visual studio code and see what all extensions do we have now to check the extensions available or search any of them we need to go to this tab that is the extensions tab now these are the already installed extensions on our system and from here you can search extensions available in the visual studio code marketplace now the first extension and a must-have extension is php intellifence now to understand what it does let me go back to the explorer and open a test.php so what i'm going to do is write some basic php built-in functions let us say php info so what you need to notice is when you type php info it shows a suggestion it is from the built-in feature that is already installed into the visual studio code but when you click on this that's it now i'll show you the difference go back to extensions and install php intelligence now go back to your test file and again type php info now as you can notice you can see two php infos here now when you click on this one you can see all the details about this function available right here so this is what php intellifence is it intelligently suggests and autofills parts of your code to make your programming simpler and much easier now moving on to a second extension our second extension will be php mess detector now what php mesh detector does is it analyzes your php code on every save now there's no additional setup required if php is already installed on your system which already is so to see what it does let us install it now before that let us go back to test.php and let me just open this now here you can see the output of your code so if you go back to php mesh detector install it and go back to your code you can see phpmes detector is visible here and after everything that you write it analyzes your code after every save and it is pretty useful while writing big and complex php codes now let's move on to the next extension which would be php auto close stack now what php auto close tag as the name suggests does is when you open a tag when you whenever you write a tag that is suppose html or body etc etc anything that you write it will automatically close the tag and you can simply start writing the code so this extension has saved me a lot of time finding what problem is in my code fixing the bug when actually it was just that i did not close the tag so suppose i write html and as you can see it automatically closes the tag and you can simply start writing the code now moving on to our next step that would be php fmt that is php formatter now what it does is it formats your code with proper indentation and well your code looks much more readable after this so let me just show you i've already created a test2.php let me just close this so as you can see this code is not indented at all and one might have trouble understanding what is going on and what part of code is under what loops and statements so we go back to our extension php formatter install it go back to test one sorry test2 now when you right click after installing this extension you can see format document section available then when you click on it the code gets automatically indented and looks much more readable now so as you may notice all these codes under comes under the if conditions and that's the rest of the code looks much more readable now now the last extension that i am going to discuss is php debug now this extension you may not use it on a very regular basis but this extension is very helpful when you want to debug your code and see what's wrong with it all the instructions on how to use this extension are written alongside it and how to install how to use how to install extra servers in order to completely utilize its potential since this extension is a debug adapter between visual studio code and xdebug website that was developed by derek griffins so i'm going to install it and this is the very website x debug where any of your code is debugged so these are some of the extensions that you need to begin or ease your journey into php there are a lot more extensions available for php and you can explore more into them as you move forward so that's it for this video thank you for watching and if you like it do hit the like button and subscribe to simply learn stay safe and keep learning hi there if you like this video subscribe to the simply learn youtube channel and click here to watch similar videos to nerd up and get certified click here
