With PhpStorm 2018.3, you’ve got unified support and a straightforward setup process for several quality tools including PHPCS, PHPMD, and PHP CS Fixer. It seems natural to keep the corresponding settings in a single place, too. This is why we’ve streamlined them in the latest release. (more…)

PhpStorm supports PHPUnit, Codeception, Behat, and PHPSpec test frameworks out of the box. Previously, to enable integration with them, you needed to perform two steps. First, you had to set up a configuration telling PhpStorm where the corresponding library was located, and then go through and create a run configuration defining how to run it. In PhpStorm 2018.3, the process is much simpler. Here’s all you need to do to get started with a test framework: Declare a dependency in composer.json. Put a configuration file under your project root. This can be behat.yml, codeception.yml, ph

DQL is a query language for your object model: instead of composing raw SQL with the names of tables and columns, you refer to the names of your PHP classes and fields to fetch or update data. You can learn more about DQL in the documentation, and, if you haven’t yet, start using it in PhpStorm 2018.3! (more…)

PhpStorm already supports the popular code quality checking tools, PHPCS and PHPMD, which help you follow industry coding style standards (such as PSR-2), framework-specific standards, or your own team standards. Checking for standards compliance is great, but fixing issues by hand can be tedious, especially on large projects.
