+
+# [Blogs](../blog/) >> Use Vim as a PHP IDE
+
+This is a general guide for using SpaceVim as a PHP IDE, including layer configuration and usage. 
+Each of the following sections will be covered:
+
+<!-- vim-markdown-toc GFM -->
+
+- [Enable language layer](#enable-language-layer)
+- [Code completion](#code-completion)
+- [Syntax linting](#syntax-linting)
+- [Jump to test file](#jump-to-test-file)
+- [running code](#running-code)
+- [Code formatting](#code-formatting)
+- [REPL support](#repl-support)
+
+<!-- vim-markdown-toc -->
+
+### Enable language layer
+
+To add PHP language support in SpaceVim, you need to enable the `lang#php` layer. Press `SPC f v d` to open
+SpaceVim configuration file, and add the following snippet:
+
+```toml
+[[layers]]
+  name = "lang#php"
+```
+
+For more info, you can read the [lang#php](../layers/lang/php/) layer documentation.
+
+### Code completion
+
+`lang#php` layer will load the PHP plugin automatically, unless it's overriden in your `init.toml`.
+The completion menu will be opened as you type.
+
+![phpide](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/13142418/57497567-c6948480-730a-11e9-95ec-e44bf6e79984.png)
+
+### Syntax linting
+
+The checkers layer is enabled by default. This layer provides asynchronous syntax linting via [neomake](https://github.com/neomake/neomake).
+It will run [psalm](https://github.com/vimeo/psalm) asynchronously.
+
+To install psalm, you may need to run:
+
+```sh
+composer require --dev vimeo/psalm
+```
+
+### Jump to test file
+
+To manage the alternate file for a project, you may need to create a `.project_alt.json` file in the root of your
+project.
+
+for exmaple, add following content into the `.project_alt.json` file:
+
+```json
+{
+  "src/*.php": {"alternate": "test/{}.php"},
+  "test/*.php": {"alternate": "src/{}.php"}
+}
+```
+
+with this configuration, you can jump between the source code and test file via command `:A`
+
+### running code
+
+To run current script, you can press `SPC l r`, and a split window
+will be openen, the output of the script will be shown in this window.
+It is running asynchronously, and will not block your Vim.
+
+![phpcoderunner](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/13142418/57496602-79aeaf00-7306-11e9-8c18-32f00bd28307.gif)
+
+### Code formatting
+
+The format layer is also enabled by default. With this layer you can use key binding `SPC b f` to format current buffer.
+Before using this feature, please install php_beautifier:
+
+```sh
+pear install PHP_Beautifier
+```
+
+### REPL support
+
+Start a `php -a` inferior REPL process with `SPC l s i`. After the REPL process being started, you can
+send code to inferior process. All key bindings prefix with `SPC l s`, including sending line, sending selection or even
+send whole buffer.
+

+
+SpaceVim 是一个模块化的 Vim IDE，针对 PHP 这一语言的支持主要依靠 `lang#php` 模块以及与之相关的其它模块。
+的这篇文章主要介绍如何使用 SpaceVim 搭建 PHP 的开发环境，侧重介绍跟 PHP 开发相关使用技巧。
+在阅读这篇文章之前，可以先阅读《[使用 Vim 搭建基础的开发环境](../use-vim-as-ide/)》，对语言相关以外的功能有一个大致的了解。

+
+<!-- vim-markdown-toc -->
+
+### 安装模块
+
+SpaceVim 初次安装时默认并未启用相关语言模块。首先需要启用
+`lang#php` 模块，通过快捷键 `SPC f v d` 打开配置文件，添加如下片断：
+
+```toml
+[[layers]]
+  name = "lang#php"
+```
+
+启用 `lang#php` 模块后，在打开 PHP 文件时，就可以使用语言专属快捷键，这些快捷键都是以 `SPC l` 为前缀的。
+
+### 代码自动补全
+
+`autocomplete` 模块为 SpaceVim 提供了自动补全功能，目前针对 PHP 而言，比较好的补全方案是配合使用 lsp 模块：
+
+```toml
+[[layers]]
+  name = "lsp"
+```
+
+lsp 模块默认使用 `php-language-server` 作为 PHP 的语言服务器后台命令。
+
+在配置文件中添加如下内容即可为 PHP 启用语言服务器：
+
+```toml
+[[layers]]
+  name = "lsp"
+  filetypes = [
+    "php"
+  ]
+  [layers.override_cmd]
+    php = ["php-language-server"]
+```
+
+### 语法检查
+
+`checkers` 模块为 SpaceVim 提供了语法检查的功能，该模块默认已经载入。该模块默认使用 [neomake](https://github.com/neomake/neomake)
+这一异步语法检查工具。对于 PHP 的支持，是通过异步调用 [psalm](https://github.com/vimeo/psalm) 命令来完成的。
+
+使用  composer 安装 paslm 命令：
+
+```sh
+composer require --dev vimeo/psalm
+```
+
+### 工程文件跳转
+
+SpaceVim 自带工程管理插件，可以识别项目根目录，自动跳转 alternate 文件。需要在项目根目录添加工程文件 `.project_alt.json`：
+
+```json
+{
+  "src/*.php": {"alternate": "test/{}.php"},
+  "test/*.php": {"alternate": "src/{}.php"}
+}
+```
+
+通过以上的配置，就可以使用命令 `:A` 在源文件和测试文件之间进行跳转。
+
+
+### 代码格式化
+
+PHP 代码格式化，主要依赖 `format` 模块，同时需要安装相关的后台命令 php_beautifier，默认快捷键为 `SPC b f` ：
+
+```toml
+[[layers]]
+  name = "format"
+```
+
+使用 pear 安装 PHP_Beautifier：
+
+```sh
+pear install PHP_Beautifier
+```
+
+
+### 快速运行
+
+在编辑 PHP 文件时，可以快速运行当前文件，默认的快捷键是 `SPC l r` 。按下后，
+会在屏幕下方打开一个插件窗口，运行的结果会被展示在窗口内。于此同时，光标并不会跳到该插件窗口，避免影响编辑。在这里需要说明下，
+
+![phpcoderunner](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/13142418/57496602-79aeaf00-7306-11e9-8c18-32f00bd28307.gif)
+
+### 交互式编程
+
+在编辑 PHP 文件时，可通过快捷键 `SPC l s i` 启动 `php -a` 交互窗口，
+之后使用快捷键将代码发送至解释器。默认快捷键都以 `SPC l s` 为前缀。
+
