How do I correct syntax highlight in VS Code for PHP 8.1 Enum Class?

My Code:

namespace App\Enum;

enum HomeStatus: string
{
    case RENT = 'rent';
    case MOVE_IN = 'move_in';
    case SOLD = 'sold';
    case COMING_SOON = 'coming_soon';
}

The code above is executing and working but the editor has the following error:

Unexpected 'Name'. Expected ';'.intelephense(1001)

I am using Intelephense v1.8.0 which I believe is the latest.

In the Change Log it says:

PHP 8.1 is now the default version.

I'm thinking that either that's not the case or PHP 8.1 does not yet have support for enums.

Is there a way to resolve this or is this something that is not yet supported?

EDIT As requested here's a screenshot of the error.

Open Visual Studio Code settings and ensure the intelephense.environment.phpVersion directive is set to "8.1.0". It can be set for the whole program or for specific projects.

intelephense.environment.phpVersion

{
    "intelephense.environment.phpVersion": "8.1.0"
}

For me, Alvaro's solution was only half of the fix. I also had to update this setting to point to my PHP executable.

{
"php.validate.executablePath": "C://laragon//bin//php//php-8.1.3-Win32-vs16-x64//php.exe"
}
