Intelligent code editor
PhpStorm’s code editor is hands down the most powerful and language-savvy coding assistant in the industry today.
You get smart code completion and refactorings, instant error detection, type inference, quick and easy navigation by codebase, and so many more features that effectively relieve you of the tedious and uninspiring aspects of authoring code.
Frameworks
PhpStorm is the go-to IDE for the most popular PHP frameworks, including Laravel, Symfony, and WordPress. In addition to PhpStorm’s deep understanding of vanilla PHP code, you get extensive coding assistance, code generation, and navigation support for your development frameworks of choice.
Frontend
Besides PHP, PhpStorm is all tooled up for development in JavaScript, TypeScript, jQuery, and all other major frontend technologies.
Out of the box, you get a full-stack IDE that’s able to handle the trickiest development tasks, including refactoring, debugging, and unit testing, on both the client and server sides of your web application.
Debugger
Track down problems that are difficult to reproduce with PhpStorm’s debugging user interface. Step through code, inspect output, and evaluate expressions without ever leaving the IDE.
PhpStorm can do the hard work of setting up Xdebug and validating it for you, or you can go further and customize the setup for advanced scenarios like remote debugging via SSH and profiling.
