Hello,
I hope you’re doing great! I'm super excited about the new code review feature for GitHub pull requests in GitHub Copilot that's in preview right now. However, I noticed that PHP isn't supported yet, and since I do a lot of work with PHP, I'm really keen on knowing when (or if) it’ll be available.

Any chance we could get some insight into the plans for adding PHP support? It would be awesome for a lot of developers who would benefit from having their PHP code reviewed as seamlessly as other languages.

Thanks for all the awesome work you’re doing! Looking forward to hearing from you.

For me, Copilot claimed to review php files on the web interface until March, 18th at 1:53PM UTC.

It stopped working with the message "Language not supported" at 3:23PM UTC on that day.

As Copilot never made any meaningful comment on the php files it allegedly reviewed, I don't know if it was really working or if the error message was added, later, to confirm that it wasn't working at all from the beginning 🤔

This page https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/using-github-copilot/code-review/using-copilot-code-review#about-copilot-code-review claims that PHP is not supported for reviews

Kinda lol that it has support for ruby but not for PHP

Ruby lol

The truth is that any information about plans to add or not PHP as a language supported by Copilot review would be nice.

You do realize that GitHub is built on Ruby on Rails, right?

It seems that Copilot supported PHP right now, can anyone confirm that ?

[fmarchalemisys]

Yes it does. It has been supported for a couple weeks now.

[faizanakram99]

yep but it doesn't understand php 8.4 syntax yet (for example it complains about property hooks or asymmetric visibility, lol)

[rjankowskiWongaPl]

haha the best for that will be Spanish idiom - poco a poco xD
