PhpStorm Key Features
Smart PHP Code Editor
The editor that actually ‘gets’ your code and deeply understands its structure, supporting PHP 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 & 5.6 for modern and legacy projects. Provides the best code autocompletion, refactorings, on-the-fly error prevention, supports language mixtures and more.
Code Quality Analysis
Hundreds of inspections take care of verifying your code as you type, analyzing the whole project. PHPDoc support, code (re)arranger, code formatter, PHP Code Sniffer & Mess Detector, quick-fixes and other features help you write neat code that’s easy to support.
Development Environment
Perform many routine tasks right from the IDE, thanks to VCS integration (Git, SVN, etc.), local history, support for remote deployment, remote PHP interpreters, Behat, SQL and databases, command-line tools, Vagrant, Composer, built-in REST Client and SSH Console with remote tools.
HTML/CSS/JavaScript Editor
All the cutting edge front-end technologies are supported, including HTML5, CSS, Sass, SCSS, Less, Stylus, Compass, CoffeeScript, TypeScript, ECMAScript Harmony, Jade, Emmet, and of course JavaScript, with refactorings, debugging and unit-testing. There is also Live Edit to see changes instantly in your browser.
Cross-platform Experience
Use the same frequently-updated PHP integrated development environment on Windows, Mac OS X or Linux with your single license key. Enjoy the performance and stability!
Debugging and Testing
Zero-configuration debugging makes it really easy to debug your applications, especially with debugger configuration validation. PHPUnit support lets you develop and run unit tests right from the IDE. Profile your applications with Xdebug or Zend Debugger and check aggregated reports in PhpStorm.
