Please advise how to set up PHPSTAN correctly?

For example, this gives me errors.

```auto
Function __x not found.

```

```auto
Method App\Controller\Component\ConfigComponent::initialize() has parameter $config with no value type specified in iterable type array. 

```

And other…

Thank You

I showcased this in our recent Cakfest. See [https://www.youtube.com/live/GaCqzBuX5sc?si=WdzQR53qldnR5ar7&t=10548](https://www.youtube.com/live/GaCqzBuX5sc?si=WdzQR53qldnR5ar7&t=10548)

As I mentioned in this I would recommend you start at level 0 and fix all errors on that level.  
Then increment the level by one and check again.  
Repeat this procedure till you can’t fix problems easily any more (which may happen at level 6 or 7)

What specific problem do you have.  
Usually what is currently present inside

is enough to make these kinds of `Function __x not found.` disappear
