PhpStorm

PhpStorm is a polyglot IDE: it understands PHP, JS, CSS, HTML, and many other languages and will provide you with smart interpretation to assist you with writing your code. But what about human languages? English is the only language supported out of the box, and up until recently, you could only ch…

PhpStorm provides native support for Twig templates, and with version 2017.3 it just got better. The Twig formatting mechanism now handles complex structures properly. It provides correct indentation for your code blocks and preserves it when copying and pasting code fragments between files. …

Live Edit has been in PhpStorm for a while. It allows us to change HTML, CSS and JavaScript code in the IDE and see the changes in the browser immediately, without reloading. PhpStorm 8 expands on this by adding Live Edit for Node.js. We can run our application, work on our code and automatically up…

In many codebases, small islands of different programming languages are being used in code, for example chunks of JavaScript written in a PHP string, or portions of HTML in a JavaScript variable, or database queries inside a string. With PhpStorm 8, we've enhanced the Language Injections feature to …

We are pleased to announce Grunt support in PhpStorm 8 EAP! If you're new to Grunt, it is a JavaScript Task Runner, much like Phing is for PHP, which can automate a lot of tasks in our development workflow. Grunt has a large number of plugins available that can automate anything from minification an…

Love AngularJS for building web application front-ends? PhpStorm makes working with AngularJS as easy and fun as working with any other language that is supported by the IDE!

Earlier this week, we released the PhpStorm 8 EAP with a number of new features and improvements. We hear what you say on Twitter and on our issue tracker and that's why we're including your number one request: Multiple Selection. Let's see how we can work with them! (more…)…

From time to time we have to mix different programming languages in one file. If there is only one or two occurrences of these small, embedded language islands, using Language Injections is the way to go. But what if we have a lot of them? For example, a JavaScript or CSS file in which we are mak…

Upcoming PhpStorm 7 release brings some new JavaScript features. We now have a built-in Node.js Package Manager that we can use to search for packages from npm. There’s also brand new support for the Karma JavaScript unit testing framework (and code coverage using istanbul). The JavaScript debugger …

As you may know, PhpStorm has all the WebStorm features available either out of the box or with free plugins in the repository. Thanks to this, PhpStorm 7 comes with support for .mustache and .hbs files and provides syntax highlighting, code formatting and automatic tag closing for Mustache and Hand…

Always switching between the IDE and a separate database client? There’s no need to juggle apps! Using the built-in Database Tools with PhpStorm, we can setup a database connection and start creating and editing tables, views, work with data, generate a database diagram and so on. Not only that: …

In almost every project, we have a moment where we want to make use of language injection: embedding a small island of a different programming language in our code, typically embedded in a string. Consider embedding an HTML fragment in a PHP literal, a situation we’ve all no doubt have encountered. …
