The gtags layer is recommended to benefit from better eldoc and helm-gtags.

Usage

Because of the way that the ac-php-core package works, there are a couple of simple initialization tasks which must occur to get the completion working as it should. On any new project make sure to perform the following initialization tasks:

1. Run the following

     cd /root/of/project
     touch .ac-php-conf.json

2. Inside of spacemacs run: = ac-php-remake-tags =

The .ac-php-conf.json file is required to enable auto-completion. When you run ac-php-remake-tags and your .ac-php-conf.json file is empty the default configuration will be used and inserted in the file.

If your project contains the following files at the root folder:

1. .projectile
2. vendor/autoload.php

the necessary configuration file (.ac-php-conf.json) will be created automatically if it does not exist.
