Coding Assistance
PhpStorm helps ensure code quality through hundreds of inspections that validate your code on the fly and analyze your entire project as a whole.Support for PHPDoc, a code (re)arranger, a code formatter, quick fixes, and other features help developers write clean, maintainable code.
Fast and Safe Refactorings
PhpStorm safely transforms your code using reliable refactoring tools for renaming, moving, and deleting elements; extracting methods; introducing variables; pulling members up/pushing members down; changing signatures; and more.Language-specific refactorings allow you to apply changes across your entire project with just a few clicks.Furthermore, any transformation can be undone.
Effortless Debugging and Testing
PhpStorm’s graphical debugger requires no additional configuration.It provides a highly visual representation of what is happening within your application at every stage of the debugging process.The debugger works with both Xdebug and Zend Debugger and can be used for both local and remote debugging.The IDE also supports unit testing with PHPUnit, BDD with Behat, and integrates with profilers.
