Kindly check the log and output that Help / Toggle Developer Tools, tab Console – Cincinnati

Disable it and contact the author. Also make sure that installed version of plugin supports your PHP version and update it if required. – Transcendent

Check your PHP Error logs and resolve issues that they present. – Winkelman

If you are using PHP 8 then PHP IntelliSense may not be ready for PHP 8 as version 2.3.14 was only made in late 2019. – Winkelman

@Winkelman You are probably right about 2019 made but I'm checking the errors as you mentioned for getting closer to solve the problem. thank you. – Aimeeaimil

Answer 1

Since my initial answer is from 2021 and in the meanwhile the extension is not maintained anymore, I recommend to follow the answer of air-dex below.

This fixed it for me on PHP 8.0.3:

cd ~/.vscode/extensions/felixfbecker.php-intellisense-2.3.14/

composer update

I try to run this command on 8.0.7 Win 10, but it seems to be going in some sort of infinite loop of deprecation error message, Is that normal? as I waited for 5 minute but it keep going. and then I quit the command. – Udometer

@SumitGupta same with me, have you fixed it? – Rolypoly

@SumitGupta Maybe this can help you, since Windows may not recognize the "~" (tilde) – Kep

Well After I break my loop (Ctrl + C) I just restart Code and it works fine without issue. so I never rerun command or do anything after that and it works. – Udometer

Got the same deprecation loop – Ruggles

Same depreciation loop. My solution was to uninstall this extension. – Subteen

Answer 2

Looks like Felix Becker's Extension is now unmaintained. I fixed the issue by replacing his extension with Damjan Cvetko's PHP IntelliSense, which is a maintained fork of this one: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=zobo.php-intellisense

Answer 3

I also had same issue on WSL2 Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS trying to use PHP 8.0.2, although my vscode server path is slightly different. Ran the update, reopened vscode and everything is working like it should.

cd ~/.vscode-server/extensions/felixfbecker.php-intellisense-2.3.14/
composer update

Answer 4

The problem for me is that I had both extensions installed. Uninstalling felix's solved the issue.
