Php Modules

In VS.Php you can select which Php modules are available in intellisense. The list of Php modules is available in the Php Modules node in the solution view under the project node. VS.Php already have a few modules added by default that are not listed in the list like mysql and a few other core modules in Php.

VS.Php does not include all Php modules in intellisense to improve the responsiveness of the editor and facilitate finding the function you are looking for.

Remote and importing projects

VS.Php view of Php modules used by project
When you are using the remote project wizard or the import project wizard, VS.Php will query the remote server to determine which modules are available in the server. It will then add those automatically to your project. During the wizard you have the option to chose which modules are added in the case you are not using all of them.
