Product Information

PhpStorm, from JetBrains, is a powerful cross-platform IDE for developers creating Websites and Web applications in HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP. PhpStorm supports powerful features such as comprehensive auto-completion, real-time code notifications, error highlighting, JavaScript refactoring tools and much more. PhpStorm works across Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems and can access code from anywhere - from an existing folder, from a source control system, or from an FTP server.

New Features

What's new in PhpStorm 4.0

Support for PHP 5.4 - fully supports PHP v5.4 including traits and all the new syntax improvements: class member access on instantiation, short array syntax, array dereferencing on function call, binary literals etc.

PHP Code Sniffer support - check your code on the fly with PHP Code Sniffer (phpcs). Checks are performed every time you change something in the file, so it's extremely easy to fix problems reported.

Code coverage for PHPUnit - marks covered and uncovered lines visually in the editor and quickly provides a reference for how much of your code is covered with tests.

New PHP code inspections - new PHP code inspections include duplicate array keys, void function result used, nested vs outer 'foreach' variables conflict, usage of silence operator, missing 'break' statement and more.

Smarter JavaScript completion - more relevant suggestions now appear nearer the top of the list - names are ordered by scope, object members are organised by class inheritance and local variables with the same name as the parameter of the called function appear higher up.

Drupal coding style support - now contains a new predefined coding style for the Drupal content management system. This helps meet the Drupal coding standards.

ECMAScript Harmony support - supports the newest JavaScript language features found in ECMAScript Harmony. Plus new quick fixes suggest which version of JavaScript the IDE should be using.

Custom Code Folding Regions - create your own code-folding regions with special line comments.

• Project analysis and navigation - powerful code analysis allows for automatic deduction of function return type based on its body and return statements and class property types can be extracted from a constructors code. File structure, class, method and call hierarchy views help ensure faster code review and navigation.
