Not working because of the version of Node.JS

[xtlsoft]

Issues saying the extension is not working on modern VSCode versions are true, and I might have found the reason:

Here is the error stack:  Error: Cannot find module 'internal/util/types'

This is the error trace of Chrome Debug Console, running on code-server, my VSCode version:

❯ code-server --version
1.1156-vsc1.33.1

As you see, it is because of the high NodeJS version.

I tried to downgrade the NodeJS on host machine, and then the problem disappeared.

This is absolutely fixable, and I'm considering opening a pull request.

So has there been any contributors?

Please feel free to open a pull request for this! I'm no longer writing PHP so don't have a lot of time to maintain this.
