Php versions – PHP 8 in Visual Studio Code

I use the latest Version of Visual Studio Code (1.52.1) with PHP Intelephense 1.5.4 on Ubuntu. Despite it is the latest Version it seems not to know the new PHP 8 Syntax. For example it shows an error when using the nullsafe operator:

$myobject?->myfunction();

Is there a way to teach VSC PHP 8 or do we have to just wait for an update?

    As you can see on https://github.com/bmewburn/vscode-intelephense/milestone/26: they are actively working on adding support for PHP8. Any further questions should be posted in their issue tracker

    This answer solved my problem, even tho i don’t use a mac.

    I still had an old php version linked in my VSCode settings of my WSL integration (settings.json). Removing that line, fixed the errors.

    You should point Visual Studio Code to the location of PHP interpreter that you want to use.

    You can do it by setting a line in the settings.json like this:

    "php.validate.executablePath": "c:/usr/php8.1/php.exe",

    It is a VSCode configuration option but seems to work with Intelephense too.

    You can also do it on per project basis using a separate settings.json file residing in project’s .vscode folder.
    You can find more on these options in the VSCode documentation.
