Description
When I install this plugin with the prettier package as a global npm package
npm install --global prettier @prettier/plugin-php
I am unable to use the PHP plugin to format PHP code. When I format a PHP file, I get the following error...
$ prettier ./index.php --write
[error] Cannot find package '@prettier/plugin-php' imported from /home/john/Documents/website/noop.js
Please allow developers to install the plugin globally and be able to use the plugin to format PHP files.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the global installation and formatting commands from the issue, then trace how the CLI resolves @prettier/plugin-php for a globally installed package. Done means the same global commands format a PHP file without the package-not-found error; no repository files or tests are named in the issue.
