Highlight Top Code Suggestions Faster

PHP Tools for Visual Studio converts Microsoft's IDE into a complete PHP development environment, increasing productivity with features such as smart code analysis, preemptive code completion, integrated debugging, and project management. This single package combines Visual Studio's familiar interface with industry-standard capabilities, allowing you to easily develop PHP applications and websites.

The PHP Tools for Visual Studio v1.89 update introduces starred suggestions within the code completion system, visually marking the most relevant options with a star icon and automatically placing them at the top of the list. By prioritizing these starred suggestions, it reduces the need to scan through extensive completion lists and helps developers select the correct option more efficiently. The feature is particularly useful in complex projects where large numbers of symbols, methods, and variables can otherwise slow down development.
