Poorer intellisense than default?

[Morgy93]

Hello,

you recommend:

I recommend to disable VS Code's built-in PHP IntelliSense by setting php.suggest.basic to false to avoid duplicate suggestions.

Before:

After:

I'm not quite sure if something is wrong here, but I think the way it was "before" is much nicer. 😁

Maybe someone can clear things up here.

Hey @Morgy93,

We did a quick check and this issue looks very darn similar to

• #443 - Request textDocument/formatting failed / ErrorException: shell_exec() has been disabled for security reasons
• #440 - Class name autocomplete does not suggest local aliases
• #438 - Signature help

This could be a coincidence, but if any of these issues solves your problem then I did a good job 😄

If not, the maintainers will get to this issue shortly.

Cheers,

I think what you are missing is #18. Check out #438 (thanks @probot-dup!)

The built-in IntelliSense uses regexps to find methods. It is far superior in detecting own symbols and doesn't do any attempt to resolve types, e.g.

$foo->bar->baz // no IntelliSense for baz, guaranteed!

Descriptions of the standard library are the same as in PHPStorm, you can do PRs to https://github.com/JetBrains/phpstorm-stubs to improve them
