A new PhpStorm EAP cycle has begun, and we are continuing our What’s Coming in PhpStorm video series. Every week, in addition to our standard blog post, we’ll publish a short video overview of what you’ll find in the upcoming PhpStorm 2020.2. In the first episode, we’ll take a look at full support for GitHub Pull Requests and introduce the new inspections widget. Speaking of inspections, there are a couple of new ones in this build, too. The videos only discuss features that have already been released in the EAP builds, so if you are an active EAP user you may already have noticed some

PhpStorm 2019.1 can help you with this, particularly by finding and removing dead code with the new Unused Declaration inspection. It will carefully analyze your code and data flow, and highlight the entities that are never used. To get started, make sure that the inspection is enabled under Settings/Preferences | Editor | Inspections | PHP | Unused. Now, when you work in the editor, PhpStorm will only highlight unused classes, class members, and functions: To locate and view all unreachable declarations

Earlier we announced a partnership between SensioLabs and JetBrains PhpStorm. Now we introduce integration between SensioLabsInsight and PhpStorm via a plugin that is already available in our repository.

The plugin shows all the inspection results right in the editor gutter, provides handy navigation to full SensioLabsInsight report, and does a lot more.
