So, you’ve decided to try something new today and started a project from scratch. Your first step will be to set up a development environment: at the bare minimum, you’d want to run a web server and a PHP interpreter (preferably – with the debugging engine installed). With Docker, you can start developing, running, and debugging your code in a matter of minutes! (more…)

When it comes to PHP debugging, Xdebug is the de-facto standard. With the 2.6 version released last week, it’s a good time to take a look at the new features. And since Xdebug has always been tightly integrated with PhpStorm, we’ve been preparing ourselves for it, too. (more…)

Many of PhpStorm users like to debug their PHP web applications and local command line scripts using our zero-configuration debugging approach due to its simplicity and comfort. This time we would like to announce that since PhpStorm 4.0 you can use this approach for debugging remote PHP command line scripts. (more…)

We continue developing integration with tools essential for each developer who cares about the quality of his code. This time we want to introduce you Code Coverage for PHPUnit. (more…)
