PHP Programming in Visual Studio
Visual Studio supports PHP, but in a limited way.
Visual Studio doesn't provide a full IDE for PHP. Instead, it provides a text editor and a debugger. You can write your code using the text editor, then run the script using the debugger.
To get started with Visual Studio and PHP, you'll need to do two things:
Install Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition or higher
Install [PHP](https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#sql-server-common)
It allows you to create and run PHP projects.
Create a new project. To create a new project, click the File tab and select New > Project from the drop-down menu to open Visual Studio's New Project dialog box. In the Installed templates section, expand Other Languages and then PHP. In the center of each screen is a drop-down list of categories that are available for you to select. You can also choose to customize your own category or create custom types using templates provided by Microsoft partners such as Adobe Software and Oracle Corporation.
Create a new PHP class file. Click on File > Add > Class... in Visual Studio's main window to open up this window where we can declare our classes for use with PHP scripts in web pages or applications that utilize this language's functionality in either .NET or Java environments on platforms including IIS 7+, Apache 2+, Windows 7+, Windows Server 2008 R2+, SQL Server 2008 R2+ etcetera depending on what version of Microsoft Office Suite (Office 365), Team Foundation Server 12+
You could use Visual Studio as a text editor for existing PHP files.
Open any existing PHP file in Visual Studio.
Edit the file.
Save the file.
Run the project, and it will launch your web server (or build a deployable package if you're not running PHP in debug mode).
It provides syntax highlighting, Intellisense and other features to help you write code.

It gives you a code formatting, which will format your code automatically for you.
You can use code snippets to insert boilerplate text into your project. There are a lot of predefined snippets available for some common programming languages like PHP, JavaScript, HTML and others.
Code completion helps you complete the code by pressing Ctrl+Space bar when typing in Visual Studio IDE editor window (Code Editor window). For example: If I type foreach e in array then it will expand as follows: foreach ($array as $e) { }. This feature is available in C# (.NET), PHP (.NET), Python (.NET), Ruby (.NET), JavaScript (.NET), TypeScript/.js and HTML/XML languages.
It doesn't provide a full debugger or allow you to run the web server that serves PHP pages.
You cannot run the web server from outside the IDE.

Visual Studio can be used to write PHP programs, but it's not ideally suited for that purpose.
Visual Studio is a .NET IDE. It's designed to be used with the .NET Framework and the C# language. PHP is not supported by Visual Studio out of the box, and if you want to develop web applications in PHP, then you'll need to download some additional tools for Visual Studio (the Mono Project).
If you're looking for a good IDE for PHP development, I recommend NetBeans or Eclipse as they are more suited to web development than Visual Studio (and have better support for PHP).
