Description
Hello,
I’m trying to format only specific sections of files in a legacy codebase using the --range-start and --range-end options.
This works fine with JS files but when using this plugin for PHP, prettier doesn’t apply any changes and essentially fails silently.
Is this a known issue? I would greatly appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this.

Research direction
Start by reproducing formatting with --range-start and --range-end on a PHP file, then inspect how the plugin handles these options compared with JavaScript formatting. Done means the selected PHP range is formatted and unsupported or invalid ranges do not fail silently.
