What PHP setting will remove this feature?

[avmvldr]

In the attached image, please see the "IF" statment and it' conditions. Notice the grayed values "password:" and "hash:", which you can't delete because they're not really there. I'm using version 8.3.10 of PHP which I believe is the latest version. How do I remove this feature?

Thanks,
Blake

Not sure of a "Setting" in PHP as such but try this:

if (password_verify($password, $hashedPassword)) {
    $_SESSION['user_id'] = $user['id'];
    $_SESSION['handle'] = $user['user_handle'];
    echo "Login successful! Welcome, " . htmlspecialchars($username) . ".";
} else {
    echo "Invalid username or password.";
}

I removed Named Parameters: The password_verify function does not support named parameters in PHP. Therefore, I removed the 'password:' syntax to ensure the code runs correctly.

I suspect that the culprit is your IDE trying to be helpful.

Check its settings.

That's a default feature of PHPStorm, at least. VSCode doesn't do it by default but I suspect there are plugins that will add the functionality.

Not sure why you would want to disable the hinting feature, which can be quite helpful in understanding what the parameters are for.  

However the instructions to do so are here:  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41743888/how-to-disable-parameter-name-hints-in-phpstorm

It might work a little more cleanly in PHPStorm, but when I tried it in VS Code, I found it much more complicated to try to select text or read through code when the editor was injecting those things into the view. Maybe if they weren't inline, though I can't imagine how not, they might be nicer for me...

But I'm also a proponent of the idea that you should be able to tell what the parameter is, be that through a variable name or an obvious literal value (or a constant...), and if you can't tell then you should do something about that.

// this is obvious on what the parameters are
password_verify($password, $hashedPassword)

// this is not
password_verify($value, $row[1])

@requinix Are you using intelephense?  For me I don't get his injection in VSCode, as mouseover pops up a window that shows me the information for the function call or method.

I don't remember if Intelephense provided the feature or not. In fact I might not even have tried it with PHP - maybe it was another language. But I assume the concept works the same way everywhere.

But yeah, the hover or autocomplete list has always been sufficient for me. Oh well, whatever works best for each person.
