JetBrains PhpStorm is a commercial, cross-platform IDE for PHP[1] built on JetBrains' IntelliJ IDEA platform.

PhpStorm provides an editor for PHP, HTML and JavaScript with on-the-fly code analysis, error prevention and automated refactorings for PHP and JavaScript code. PhpStorm's code completion supports PHP 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 & 5.6 (modern and legacy projects), including generators, coroutines, the finally keyword, list in foreach, namespaces, closures, traits and short array syntax. It includes a full-fledged SQL editor with editable query results.[2][3]

PhpStorm is built on IntelliJ IDEA, which is written in Java. Users can extend the IDE by installing plugins created for the IntelliJ Platform or write their own plugins.

All features available in WebStorm are included in PhpStorm,[4] which adds support for PHP and databases.[5] WebStorm ships with pre-installed JavaScript plugins (such as for Node.js), which are available for PhpStorm as well at no cost.[6]

PHP editor

  • PhpStorm provides a rich code editor[7] for PHP with syntax highlighting, extended code formatting configuration, on-the-fly error checking, and code completion.
  • PHP 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 & 5.6 support, including generators, coroutines, the finally keyword, list in foreach, using empty() on the result of function calls and other expressions, traits, closures, class member access on instantiation, short array syntax, array dereferencing on function call, binary literals, expressions in static calls, etc. It can be used for both modern and legacy PHP-based projects.
  • Code autocompletion finalizes classes, methods, variable names, and PHP keywords, plus commonly used names for fields and variables depending on their type.

Debugging and testing

  • Easy-to-configure visual debugger (Xdebug, Zend Debugger) for inspecting context-relevant local variables and user-defined watches, including arrays and complex objects, and editing values on the fly.
  • Scripts can be profiled right from PhpStorm with either XDebug or Zend Debugger. An aggregated report is available, and the user can jump from the execution statistics directly to the function in PHP code.
  • PHPUnit tests can be developed in PhpStorm and run instantly from a directory, file or class using the context menu options) with code coverage.

JavaScript, CSS and HTML features

  • Code completion for JavaScript, HTML and CSS (for tags, keywords, labels, variables, parameters and functions).
  • HTML5 support.
  • Live Edit: changes in the code can be immediately viewed in the browser without reloading the page.
