Hey @rik020257, it looks like your PHP Intelephense got corrupted during installation.
To fix it, please uninstall and then reinstall Phoenix Code.
Make sure you delete this folder:
C:\Users\richa\AppData\Local\io.phcode\lspServers\intelephense. This will allow PHP Intelephense to perform a fresh installation.Alternatively, if you don't want the code intelligence features and just want to stop seeing that toast message, you can add this line to your preferences file:
"codeIntelligence.php": falseFor more details, see the documentation

Hi @rik020257, we were able to root cause this issue. It happens when Node.js isn’t installed on the system - our PHP code intelligence depends on Node, and all our test runners had it installed, so we missed this case.
This is now fixed and should be available in the next release, likely within a week. We’ve also added testing that forces no system Node.js to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
Thanks for reporting this!
