About PhpStorm Parameter Hints in VScode

PHP Parameter Hint for Visual Studio Code

Inserts parameter hints(type, name or both) into function calls to easily understand the parameter role.

Note: This extension now uses VS Code's native Inlay Hints API, which properly respects word wrap and integrates seamlessly with the editor. Styling is controlled by your VS Code theme for consistency.

Installation

• Open VS Code and click on Extensions Icon in the Activity Bar. • Type mrchetan.phpstorm-parameter-hints-in-vscode • Install the Extension Pack.
