While attempting to convert a PHP script to JavaScript using babel-preset-php, I encountered the following error:
Error: Plugin 0 specified in "/media/deep/5738c180-2397-451b-b0b5-df09b7ad951e1/deepx/Documents/TestingAll/node_modules/babel-preset-php/src/index.js" provided an invalid property of "default" (While processing preset: "/media/deep/5738c180-2397-451b-b0b5-df09b7ad951e1/deepx/Documents/TestingAll/node_modules/babel-preset-php/src/index.js")

I installed the preset using npm i -S babel-preset-php.
I configured my .babelrc file like this:
{
"presets": ["php"]
}
In addition, I installed the Babel CLI with npm i -g babel-cli. Then, I created a simple PHP file containing only basic code:
<?php
echo "hello world";
When trying to transpile the PHP file into JS using babel file.php -o file.js, the aforementioned error occurs.
