Thanks for your request!
PhpStorm is perfect for working with Symfony, Drupal, WordPress, Zend Framework, Laravel, Magento, Joomla!, CakePHP, Yii, and other frameworks.
The editor actually 'gets' your code and deeply understands its structure, supporting all PHP language features for modern and legacy projects. It provides the best code completion, refactorings, on-the-fly error prevention, and more.
Make the most of the cutting edge front-end technologies, such as HTML5, CSS, Sass, Less, Stylus, CoffeeScript, TypeScript, Emmet, and JavaScript, with refactorings, debugging and unit testing available. See changes instantly in the browser thanks to Live Edit.
Perform many routine tasks right from the IDE, thanks to Version Control Systems integration, support for remote deployment, databases/SQL, command-line tools, Vagrant, Composer, REST Client, and many other tools.
All the features of WebStorm are included into PhpStorm, and full-fledged support for PHP and Databases/SQL support are added on top.
Hundreds of inspections take care of verifying your code as you type, analyzing the whole project. PHPDoc support, code (re)arranger and formatter, quick-fixes, and other features help you write neat code that’s easy to maintain.
Be the master of your codebase thanks to efficient, lightning-fast navigation features. The IDE understands where you want to go and gets you there instantly.
Refactor your code reliably with safe Rename, Move, Delete, Extract Method, Inline Variable, Push members Up / Pull members Down, Change Signature, and many other refactorings. Language-specific refactorings help you perform project-wide changes in a matter of a few clicks, and can be safely undone.
PhpStorm is renowned for its zero-configuration Visual Debugger, providing extraordinary insight into what goes on in your application at every step. It works with Xdebug and Zend Debugger, and can be used both locally and remotely. Unit Testing with PHPUnit, BDD with Behat and profiler integration are also available.
Using the method’s body in your code can sometimes be more practical than using the method itself, in which case you will need to replace the calls to the method with the actual method’s content. This can be tricky in some cases since you'll need to handle multiple function calls, maintain proper variables' scopes and default values, and reformat the resulting code. The new Inline refactoring will help you with all of the above.
To help you easily migrate your code between the imperative and functional coding styles, PhpStorm 2018.1 introduces several new inspections and quick fixes. These will convert loops into the array_map, array_filter and array_fill function calls, and vice versa. Only the equivalent transformations are performed, and the logic of your code does not change.
With TDD becoming more and more popular, the situations are pretty common, in which the test is already in place, but the covered class does not exist yet. To handle such situations, PhpStorm 2018.1 will help you generate a class together with the class methods from an existing test. PhpStorm will also take your PSR-0/PSR-4 structure into account to generate the target class and the class methods in their respective locations.
@phpstorm's code completion is incredibly useful.
@geeh @phpstorm I'm hooked mate. I've been so productive lately it's silly. Keep up the great work.
@phpstorm is magical... in a good way. I find myself saying "oh that's convenient" over and over.
If you are developing in PHP and are not using PhpStorm, you are working too hard.
"I'm so spoiled by PhpStorm!"
