PHP built in functions/classes etc. are not recognized Follow

I was looking for it for half an hour and of course, right after posting this question, I found it :)

"Settings/Languages & Frameworks/PHP/PHP Runtime/Sync Extensions with Interpreter."

Hello, I have this same problem.

Phpstorm is complaining that is_numeric is an unknown/undefined function.

I have gone to "Settings/Languages & Frameworks/PHP/PHP Runtime/Sync Extensions with Interpreter." but this doesn't fix it.

I have coding for PHP 7.2 and have pointed the CLI interpreter to a PHP 7.2 executable. What else can I do?

Thank you

Elliot, could you please show the context? I just tried "is_numeric" function on a simple example in PhpStorm and no warnings are shown. Moreover, autocomplete is working for it.

I encountered the same problem, where native classes and functions were not being recognized by PhpStorm (2019.1.2).

It appears something in the cache/indexing was corrupted as I couldn't pull up any quick documentation on it, nor could I navigate (Ctrl + click) to the definition... No obvious cause found...

The solution for me was to invalidate my cache (File->Invalidate Caches / Restart)

After re-indexing and re-caching it is working as expected now.

I had this problem ocour after I created functions.php file in src for symfony. Cache revalidation helped.

It happened to me after running an update. David's method cleared it up.

Had the same problems, and only

• disabling some 3rd party plugins

helped. I had two new RDF related plugins installed (LNKD.tech Editor, RDF and SPARQL). After disabling them PHPStorm again recognized php standard functions etc.

The same happened today after snap update.

Please try disabling all custom plugins at Settings | Plugins > click on a gear icon > "Disable All Downloaded Plugins", restart IDE and check the issue after that. 

I've tried disabling all plugins with built-in, cache clear, removing idea project dir. No luck!

Please try opening plugins directory and delete all plugin folders manually. and then restart IDE. If that doesn't help - please attach a screenshot of the problem + share your idea.log file. You can also contact us via Help | Contact Support to do this privately.

No luck. But I've just left my PC for few minutes and it works! Some background process...

I got the same bug after updating it to 2020.2

I reinstalled PHPStorm with https://www.jetbrains.com/toolbox-app/
and the issue was resolved

Same issue after updating to 2020.2

To everyone still affected: please try the latest suggestion posted here by me. If this won't help - please contact us directly over Help | Contact Support

Disabling plugins and invalidating the cache didn't help.

As a workaround I found this solution: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30328805/phpstorm-how-to-add-method-stubs-from-a-pecl-library-that-phpstorm-doesnt-curr

1. Clone the stubs repository

2. Configure the default stubs path

Same issue after updating to 2020.2. I tried to delete all plugins folders as you mentioned, delete .idea file of my project, restore default settings, reinstall PHPStorm... None of these solutions work.

Edit: The solution proposed by Arjan Frans temporarily solves the problem, thanks.

1) do you have PhpStorm installed via ToolBox app or a standalone app or via snap?

2) do you have "Core" PHP runtime enabled at File | Settings | Languages & Frameworks | PHP?

Arjan Frans thank you that actually helped!

Dmitry Tronin my PHPStorm is installed as a standalone app and "Core" PHP runtime is enabled. FYI, the solution proposed by Arjan Frans solves the problem.

Thanks for the info, but it's still not clear how did it happen. If anyone affected could share their logs via Help > Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data with us that would be great.

Thanks, downloaded.

Logs are looking alright.

Could you please:

1) attach a screenshot of File | Settings | Languages & Frameworks | PHP > PHP Runtime > Core 

2) share your project's /.idea folder
