PHPantom

A fast, lightweight PHP language server written in Rust. Ready in seconds, keeps memory use modest even on large codebases, and stays responsive throughout. Indexing happens in the background, so you're never left waiting on it.

[!TIP] Want to verify? Open examples/php/ in your editor and trigger completion at the marked locations in completion.php. It exercises every type intelligence feature in the table, including edge cases where tools diverge. Each framework has a standalone project of its own, with a README listing what to try: examples/laravel/, examples/symfony/, examples/wordpress/, examples/yii/, and examples/tempest/.
