Cannot understand 64-bit PHP requirements

[Vectorial1024]

As per Composer docs:

https://getcomposer.org/doc/01-basic-usage.md#platform-packages

To require a 64bit version of php, you can require the php-64bit package.

---

However, if I have "php-64bit": ">=8.3" in composer.json, then the tools warn me about this syntax, which should be allowed in PHP 8.3:

class TestClass
{
    // Construct typed constants is supported since PHP 8.3PHP(PHP6401)
    public const int TEST_CONST = 5;
}

This problem does not occur if I have "php": ">=8.3" in composer.json.

Thank you for reporting that.

We automatically detect your PHP version based on composer.json, and we didn't recognize this syntax - will be fixed.

As a workaround, you can manually select your PHP version using settings (https://docs.devsense.com/en/vscode/php-version#choosing-php-version)

fixed in the upcoming update, thanks!
