VSCode for PHP and Laravel

Closest PHPStorm build I’ve seen so far. Thanks for sharing that, it may help a lot of non-students who work with Laravel and don’t have Jetbrains access!

I just cannot get used to PHPStorm, so I’m stuck with VSCode, mainly working on WordPress plugins, but sometimes I do Laravel stuff too. After introducing profiles in VSC I created a dedicated profile for Laravel and had some of those extenstions installed, but this tutorial is really nice and I actually learned something new. Great!
