16## Intelephense

18[Intelephense](https://intelephense.com/) is a [proprietary](https://github.com/bmewburn/vscode-intelephense/blob/master/LICENSE.txt#L29) language server for PHP operating under a freemium model. Certain features require purchase of a [premium license](https://intelephense.com/). To use these features you must place your [license.txt file](https://intelephense.com/faq.html) at `~/intelephense/licence.txt` inside your home directory.

23{
24 "languages": {
25 "PHP": {
26 "language_servers": ["intelephense", "!phpactor", "..."]
