PHP: Better support for older drupal codebases.

[AleMadLei]

What problem does this solve?

Right now PHP support only seems to look for files with PHP extension.

We are working on an old codebase that are evaluating to migrate (Drupal 6 to Drupal 11).

But there are different extensions that Drupal 6 use (.inc, .install, .module besides the .php). Not sure if there's a way to customize the files that should be read somewhere.

There's also the convention by names (hooks). For instance Drupal has the hook_form_alter or hook_form_FORM_ID_alter() which get called by functions such as module_invoke_all or drupal_alter.

Proposed solution

Provide a way to extend the file extension types that are read per code language.

@AleMadLei Hi!

https://github.com/DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp#custom-file-extensions

Map additional file extensions to supported languages via JSON config files. Useful for framework-specific extensions like .blade.php (Laravel) or .mjs (ES modules).

Per-project (in your repo root):

// .codebase-memory.json
{"extra_extensions": {".blade.php": "php", ".mjs": "javascript"}}
Global (applies to all projects):

// ~/.config/codebase-memory-mcp/config.json  (or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/...)
{"extra_extensions": {".twig": "html", ".phtml": "php"}}
Project config overrides global for conflicting extensions. Unknown language values are silently skipped. Missing config files are ignored.

Thank you, will try this and notify about results.

Thanks for the Drupal/PHP details. Triage: this is parsing/language coverage for PHP-era framework conventions under #592.

There are two separable pieces: configurable PHP-like extensions (.inc, .install, .module) and Drupal hook semantics such as hook_form_alter/module_invoke_all. Extension handling is the smaller first step; hook-call modeling should probably be a follow-up fixture so we do not overfit general PHP call resolution.
