Having had previous experience with JetBrains IDEs in the past ( PyCharm, IntelliJ) I knew what to expect of it, and wasn't disappointed. It performs extremely well, it integrates with pretty much all the frameworks we needed here (laravel, lighthouse, graphql, docker, etc). Note that the licensing is subscription based (at the moment we started, it was about 9$/month/devel, which scales up pretty fast for large teams

- as with all JetBrains products, you get a nice, clean and extremely powerful interface - again, as with other JetBrains products it has a huge plugin base for all kinds of frameworks, formats and so on. - regularly updated - with the exception of the project loading part, it's extremely fast

- kind-of pricey, at least when compared with other tools

Love it in every aspect even though it can get sluggish sometimes it never fails. It's the swiss army knife for devs :)

PHPStorm does practically all a developer could think of. - Database Management - Various Languages support - Easy to the eye color theming - The search and replace is so powerful! - Ability to have your terminal right there without having to open yet another app. - Git!!! - So well organized - A+++

I have nothing when it comes to cons. This tool is so customizable that any time some feature bothers me I can just switch it off.

If you are a professional developer and need a quality tool for your work, PHPStorm is worth the money. But be prepared to put in the time to learn the IDE

The amount of work that you can get done without leaving the editor is fantastic. From sshing into your server, version control, database and testing. Great number of plugins for most frameworks and testing tools.

The price is becoming a bit of an issue for me. With that being said, it does make your development process so much easier. Memory usage is quite high too and sometimes I find myself using a more lightweight editor such as vscode or sublime.

We love working in PHPStorm, we like it's layout, the plugins, VCS integration, stability, responsiveness etc.

I liked the most the fluidness of it's usage. No hick-ups, no long indexing processes, fast auto-completion, quick search, useful refactoring wizards... If man uses other JetBrains IDEs, too, like Android Studio for example, then the convenience to have the same interface (UI, debugger, database browser etc.) and especially hotkeys is very pleasant.

Color scheme is different from other editors, this took a bit time to get used to (1 week at most) but really can't tell any bad things about it.

I switched from Microsoft Visual Studio Code and i was very suprised how PHP Storm handles code, allows you to do a lot of wonderful things. Great product and i would recommend it to every PHP Developer. I think it's a must have for Php developers with every level of seniority.

Easy to use, helps you to keep your code clean, easy github integration, allows to show databases and tables within, customizable, TODO list builded in, debugg tool

Sometimes it has issues after updates but it's rapidly fixed, price could be lower but overall great product.

Tool that I used for many years. Helped me develop quicly, efficiently and cooperate with teams. It can be easily converted to program frontend Javascript apps also.

- refactoring working like a charm - renaming, moving, duplication detection, deletion, - installing plugins is easy - unit tests are easy to write, maintain, debug and see in graphical interface

that still debugging isn't that easy in Php, so nothing could help, even PHP storm

In a shortcut, this is the best PHP IDE. Quick updates to various PHP versions. Auto completion help coding much faster and amazing compatibility with most Web coders like GitHub, Laravel framework and Dockers.

Price is slightly increasing whenever you renew yearly instead of decreasing.

Setting up takes time, but once everything is set up, PHPStorm is the perfect all-in-one solution for a developer. Built-in Git version control. Deployment options with code comparison and sync. Automatic code completion is better than other IDEs

The IDE is the perfect all-in-one solution for a developer. The PHP Compatibility check saved our migration projects tons of time and effort. The comparison/sync option when deploying is such a time saver.

The application is heavy in terms of memory and disk space usage, but it makes sense considering all the available functionalities.

Daily use for php code editing (html and Javascript inside it) can be used with frameworks or pure. I like the functions and integrations with git and code generators like gets and sets

At first you may be scared by so many tools, but with the use you start to enjoy so many features that it offers you. In addition to autocomplete, code generators, hyperlink between functions, it also has amazing integration with git, you can commit, pull and push by the editor itself, as well as being able to resolve conflicts.

The price can be a disadvantage, they offer the free version for students, and I think it takes too long to open the program, I usually don't close to avoid this delay to open the first time.

For what I used it for it worked well. But I could’ve done the same with vscode and not have to pay the license fee.

I liked the features such as code correction and file pathing. It helped me keep my code clean and is a great gui if you are coding php

The fact that alot of these features are available with vscode and that is a free code editor. I koved from vscode to php storm only to be able to do the same things. Needless to say I didn’t renew the php storm licensing

I was very sceptical that paying for a tool would really change anything. I tried the free trial for 30 days, and I didn't hesitate. I even bought other software from the company because there is a real monitoring of the tool, the possibility to continue using the software via their fallback license system and a real monitoring of the trends in terms of Framework. These are all points that have made my daily life easier in my work. I have gained in productivity; but it is above all the gain in work comfort that I appreciate.

The most negative point for me is the memory consumption. Combined with a Docker, 8GB of RAM quickly becomes saturated. A little effort on this side and it's perfect.

It has been my pleasure to be working with this one of a kind IDE. You could spend you lifetime learning and using all its magnificent and glorious set of tools and extended features. This is my main go to IDE for all the coding that I do one a daily basis and have no intentions of ever trading.

PhpStorm is a super smart PHP IDE and one of the best to my knowledge on the market. It has some of the most used features you love including but not limited to code completion to help speed up the work flow, parameter hints to help remind you of the order of parameters, Inspection, keyword completion, a fully fledged HTTP client built into the IDE, code refactor in the case you forgot to indent etc., a database browser for editing and execution along with a database terminal and also, the famous version control which is built-in, reducing the need to leave the IDE which coding. PhpStorm also has completions, inspections and intentions built in for CSS, JavaScript and HTML and many more front-end technologies along with refactorings, unit testing and debugging . In additions to the may awesome, time saving and productive features and tools, PhpStorm has support for many major frameworks including Laravel, Joomla, cakePHP, Symfony and more. How cool is that!

With so many awesome features and tools available in this IDE, I have no dislikes at this moment.

It massively improved my productivity since I started using it. It's literally a single tool/IDE that will provide you with everything you need to work on your PHP websites, all in one place. It also has many features that make it much easier to debug and refactor code.

It has many native integrations, including SFTP, GIT, Xdebug, MySQL, etc. If set up correctly, it's very powerful.

It's a bit pricey and it can be slow at times, but it's totally worth it, in my opinion.

PhpStorm comes with a lot of built in features. It is easy to get started but you can also do some really advanced things if necessary. The autocompletion is really fast and good. The inline documentation lookup is very useful and makes programming a lot faster if you forgot what a method does exactly or how it should be used. It is also very accurate at giving type errors when needed, which is quite difficult with PHP since it is dynamically typed. It can also handle very large projects without becoming unresponsive or slow, even with searching through files.

Sometimes PhpStorm interprets a variable as having a different type than it actually has when there are two classes in the project with the same name. Autocompletion of object functions only works when PhpStorm knows exactly the type of the variable. Sometimes it can be hard to find certain settings/options because of the large number of customizable settings.

Only a few of our organization's developers use PhpStorm. The greatest IDE for PHP/web development currently available, in my opinion, is PhpStorm. I required a solution for the development of several PHP applications. It is true that Phpstorm is an all-in-one programming solution because of the abundance of fantastic features it provides. It typically fixes the issue of requiring many tools to finish a task.

Popular PHP debugging tools with easy settings that function even while operating inside a virtual machine. automatic creation of helpful features like autocomplete and tooltips from the PHPDoc comments of a project. Theme Design

When a project is attached to an open project, the project structure is not obvious. A more complete implementation of the Git client is what I would like to see. I firmly believe they could provide a product that would be competitive with GitKraken, Sourcetree, or SmartGit if they invested a bit more time into it.

Phpstorm is very intuitive to use and helps with code formatting according to PSR standards

Sometimes it can be slow and laggy when you open big projects due to indexing

I wonder nowadays how I could ever write and develop any code without this editor. There is nearly nothing you need to do as a programmer/developer you cannot do in PhpStorm. There are plugins available for everything. There is even a plugin for Antlers code highlighting, the template language of Statamic CMS (for Laravel).

I think it lacks more integrated help texts and assistants. Sometimes it's quite difficult to remember commands (you can search for that, okay) and it is looks a bit overloaded sometimes.

PhpStorm being a detailed tool allowed us to carry out our work. We found Php Storm to be faster and quicker in compiling process and integration with our applications. It meets our requirement for Code management with teamwork, file sync and all in one place coding and management. Very easy to refresh the code and compile with enough resources

Php Storm was a great match and fit for our organization to deal with the code management, code development and connecting to our linux for all in one place solution. We found Php Storm to be faster and quicker in compiling process and integration with our applications.

Php Storm uses more resources so you have to make sure the hardware you are using is compatible enough to run large code compiling and execution.

This indeed is a best IDE for PHP as name suggests.

When it comes to working with PHP, PhpStrom is one of the best IDEs I've ever used. It just works really well when it comes to highlighting syntax. This software stores errors in a very accurate way and alerts you right away. One of the best things about this IDE is that we can run PHP files right in the IDE and get updates right away while we code. I found that this software works with Laravel and catching errors and helping to debug.

The system requirements for using this program are high, and only the most powerful computers will be up to the task. It's pricey in comparison to other IDEs, but it was well worth the investment in my opinion.

1) Short Keys are very useful, you can easily find a function or object anywhere in the project just ctrl+right click and import any namespace just by using the sort key, and shows suggestion classes. 2) The best if you don't know about syntax it shows you in a suggestion.

1) the annoying thing is the yellow bars on the scroll side. Whenever you are going to click on a scroll and move it mostly clicked on the yellow bar and moves us to a specific point.it must be not there because of its collapse scroll and waring bars.

creating web application via php

easy to find the classes references and import them easily just one click

i would like to see open source extentions there

I really enjoy the IntelliJ environment and coding within their UI. Some of the built-in functionalities and possibility of plugins is quite extensive.

Some plugins might be outdated/without support, but for most of the part it is fine.

Simply the best PHP IDE I've ever tried. Very customizable and extendable

Semplicity; New major releases with new features 3/4 times at year with EAP (Early Access Program) builds to try out them before the stable release; A lot of plugins from the community marketplace to extend features and tweak the IDE UI

A bit larger in terms of size (around 1,25 GB) and consumes a high amount of RAM (around 2 GB)

I'm quite satisfied with php storm UI/UX and the features it provide. Previously I used ATOM to code, after a month of free trial, it feels like the IDE I need. Developing application with php frameworks seems fun in this ide.

Interactive UI/UX, helps to stay productive and focused in coding. Come in great help while developing application in framework like laravel.

Pricing is the only thing I would be complaining about, could be less expensive, but it's worth it.

Great IDE for web development with a really solid user experience. Integration with deployment tools such as Docker and Kubernetes make for efficient workflows.

Easy to use; Large feature set; Great integration with tools and systems

Can be resource-hungry at times; Some third-party plugins have variable quality
