Required VSCode extensions

For the sake of coding style consistency, choose Prettier as your default formatter for HTML, CSS and JS; choose Intelephense as your default PHP formatter. Make sure to toogle on Format On Save.

Highly recommended VSCode extensions

PHP Debug helps a lot at finding any bugs you might have with PHP (as any debugger should do). Open PHP/HTML/JS In Browser makes it trivial to open a file in localhost. Both extensions require some configuration, but it is very well worth it.

My settings (in VSCode's settings.json) for Open PHP/HTML/JS In Browser

{
  "open-php-html-js-in-browser.selectedBrowser": "Chrome",
  "open-php-html-js-in-browser.urlToOpen": "http://localhost/",
  "open-php-html-js-in-browser.documentRootFolder": "C:\\xampp\\htdocs",
}
