Enabling Intelephense

[JoyceBabu]

I see two options for integrating with Intelephense.

Documentation for LSP-intelephense says

Install LSP and LSP-intelephense from Package Control.

This enables, LSP-Intelephense on the status bar.

The Getting Started section of this project says

Enable the server by running LSP: Enable Language Server from the command palette.

When selecting the option LSP: Enable Language Server Globally, I don't see LSP-intelephense. Instead intelephense-ls is listed. Selecting intelephense-ls adds intelephense-ls to my status bar.

Why are there two different options? Which is the official way for enabling intelephense server?

[jwortmann]

Both options should work. The intelephense-ls entry has probably been there to apply default configurations for the server, when the LSP-intelephense package didn't exist yet. I would say there is no "official way", but LSP-intelephense might be the preferred option here, because it can automatically install and update the server (I think) through Package Control. (I don't use that server myself though.)

Another reason to use LSP-intelephense is you can use variables in its initializationOptions.
