- PHPStorm: It is an IDE that is developed for PHP and Web Developers that contains several modern tools. It also offers features such as functionality, Code navigation, smart code editor for PHP, Testing and Debugging facilities. Apart from these, the presence of Database technologies is an interesting aspect of PHPStorm.
- JetBrains, initially called IntelliJ Software, was founded in 2000 in Prague by three Russian software developers: Sergey Dmitriev, Valentin Kipyatkov and Eugene Belyaev. The company's first product was IntelliJ Renamer, a tool for code refactoring in Java.
- An innovative, Java-based IDE from JetBrains, PhpStorm uses IntelliJ IDEA technology to empower PHP and web developers to more efficiently design codes in several programming languages, including Emmet, JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS. It also deploys best-in-class coding assistance and support for primary PHP tools and IDE frameworks.
- To me, it seems clear that PhpStorm is WebStorm + PHP. Opening up the PyCharm and RubyMine, they seem very similar as well. So, the big question is, are PyCharm, RubyMine and PhpStorm different enough to make it work buying the All Products Pack, or can the extensions from one be installed on the other and essentially make one software capable.
Using Prettier in WebStorm Use the Reformat with Prettier action (Opt-Shift-Cmd-P on macOS or Alt-Shift-Ctrl-P on Windows and Linux) to format the selected code, a file, or a whole directory.
« back — written by Brent on September 26, 2020Any JetBrains IDE has an amazing feature that can significantly improve your development experience; whether it's PhpStorm, WebStorm, IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, or any other project; this feature enables better search and allows for custom file colours.
For example, this is what I'm talking about:
A tree view configured with coloured scopes
These colours allow you to easily recognise files,and that in turn allow you to think more freely about things that really matter when coding.First you'll want to configure one or more scopes.A scope is a set of textual filters that are applied on your files, you can configure them by going to Settings > Scopes.
You can use the buttons to include and exclude folders and files,or you can write the filters yourself.There's a special syntax to do that, you can read about it described here. Don't forget you can expand the text area for easier configuration:
# File colours
Every scope can be applied a specific colour.This makes it easy to easily spot files.
By applying colours to a scope, you'll see them in the tree view,in file tabs and when using file navigation.

# Filtering by scope
Besides colours, scopes also allow for easy filtering. For example, in the tree view:
File colours
But also in the finder:
File colours
# Defaults
Setting up scopes shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes every project,and saves a lot of time in the long run.There's also the possibility to set default options though,which will be used every every time you create a new project.Go to File > New Project Settings > Preference for New Projects and configure your default scopes and colours over there, the same way you'd do as explained before.
And just in case you'd need some inspiration, these are my default scopes:
Skip to end of metadataGo to start of metadataWhat is PhpStorm & WebStorm?
PhpStorm & WebStorm are IDEs (Integrated Development Environment) built on top of JetBrains IntelliJ platform and narrowed for web development.
Which IDE do I need?
PhpStorm is designed to cover all needs of PHP developer including full JavaScript, CSS and HTML support.
WebStorm is for hardcore JavaScript developers. It includes features PHP developer normally doesn’t need like Node.JS or JSUnit. However corresponding plugins can be installed into PhpStorm for free.
How often new vesions are going to be released?
Preliminarily, WebStorm and PhpStorm major updates will be available twice in a year. Minor (bugfix) updates are issued periodically as required.
Will PhpStorm support XXXXX Framework/Technology? (PHP/JavaScript/anything else)
Please NOTE When its stated that IDEA platform supports LANGUAGE (be it JS, PHP, Ruby, Java etc.) it means that IDE features will work with ANY valid code in that particular language and maybe even across them. However, SOME advanced features (i.e more smart completion) MAY require special handling of particular library/framework (i.e approach used to emulate object inheritance in JS). Libraries that are known to require such ADVANCED support of fine-grained features are mentioned in roadmap. All other stuff expected to work as is.
Thus - please TRY to actually develop your project in PhpStorm and then provide us your feedback about your expectations, problems and feature requests.
Use issue tracker to search requests on your framework support, vote for it and track its progress (or submit a new one).
IntelliJ IDEA vs PhpStorm/WebStorm features
IntelliJ IDEA remains JetBrains' flagship product and IntelliJ IDEA 9+, provides full PHP support along with *all* other features of PhpStorm via bundled or downloadable plugins. The only thing missing is the simplified project setup.
Can't find <some declared feature>
It may be NOT DONE YET. Please check status on PhpStorm Development Roadmap (Deprecated) and try searching our Tracker
Will it be possible to use 3rd party editor like, for example, jVi?
We can't imagine why do you DON'T want to use our excellent editor with code analysis and refactoring, especially because IDEA platform has excellent VI plugin. However, IDE can live with external code changes.
Advanced support for specific text-based files i.e. makefile, etc
Webstorm Vs Code
Search Tracker, vote/add request.
Other major language support (i.e. Python, Ruby)
Webstorm Vs Phpstorm
Out of scope for PhpStorm/WebStorm. Please try other IntelliJ products RubyMine, PyCharm or IntelliJ IDEA + Python/Ruby plugin.
