Raw
php_cs_fixer_vscode_extension_setup.md

If you have installed "php cs fixer" vscode extension, the following will make it work on saving your php file

extension link: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/?itemName=junstyle.php-cs-fixer

steps:

1- install phpcsfixer as a global composer package

composer global require friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer --dev

2- add this to your settings.json config object:

"[php]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "junstyle.php-cs-fixer"
},
"php-cs-fixer.executablePath": "/home/YOURUSERNAME/.config/composer/vendor/friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer/php-cs-fixer",
"php-cs-fixer.ignorePHPVersion": true,
"php-cs-fixer.onsave": true,

[ ! ] currently this extension does not support php8.4 so i had to ignorePHPVersion, don't know this format code badly in some cases?

[ ! ] set YOURUSERNAME for the executablePath to your system's username
