We use Phpstorm to code our web applications and it has drastically reduced the time our developers are building web applications and there are fewer programming errors thanks to phpstorm.

The syntax highlighting is very good for PHP, HTML and Javascript. The User Interface is friendly and easy use. Keyboard shortcuts are available that speed up development. Phpstorm supports version control which makes going back to commits easy. Further, you can deploy your application to your server right from Phpstorm and integrates well with third party plugins such as Laravel IDE helper and there arelots of plugins from the official plugins repository that can be accessed from the IDE itself. There is also a student pack that gives free licences for a year to students to help them taste the full power of PHPstorm.

The price is the only thing that I dont like about PHPstorm.

I use PhpStorm as my primary IDE for all my PHP related freelance projects. I use it with Laravel and Wordpress projects and am able to customize it for both types of projects quickly and easily.

Clean, simple, customizable, and easy to use. It is loaded with features and has a vast array of plugins to extend functionality beyond what’s available “out-of-the-box”.

Sometimes the indexing slows down my computer and if a project is not set up properly, it will consistently re-index after changes are made.

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.

I highly recommend PhpStorm to any PHP developer looking for a powerful and reliable IDE.

PhpStorm is a comprehensive and feature-rich integrated development environment (IDE) specifically designed for PHP development. It offers a wide range of helpful features to make coding easier and more efficient, including code completion, refactoring, and debugging tools. The interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, making it a great tool for both experienced developers and those new to PHP. Additionally, PhpStorm integrates seamlessly with version control systems like Git, which makes it easy to collaborate with other developers on projects.

the software can be a bit expensive, especially for individual developers or small businesses.

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.

PhpStorm has save me lot of time setting up multiple softwares for work and run in almost no time and I have not faced any issue with it so far.

All features packed in one software including git, debugger and docker support makes it extremely easy to use and supports a lot for faster development. Availability of different skins and plugins and colour combinations (including High contrast Dark mode) makes it look prettier as well.

Lack of shortcuts for features like git pull or muting breakpoints. It lacks a simple interface to assign custom shortcuts.

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

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.

I used PhpStorm for many times while I am programming Php for my website. It gives you many space to create your own website with many libraries.

It is easy to programme with Php while you are using PhpStorm. It gives you space to programme with many libraries and understand your code easily.

PhpStorm is quite expensive than the other IDE's, so it has many features but it will cost you a bit.

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.

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.

The overall experience is positive and I would recommend the software. It makes my days programming easier.

Everything you need for web development, code completion is very good, he plugin system allows to expand the product with additional features that are community driven, but very welcome, to make the product fuller.

The product is quite resource heavy with all the additional indexing and code completion features. Be prepared to allocate quite a bit of ram to it.

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.

I've used many PHP IDE's out there, and this one is definitely the best.

With it's neat user interface, great code completion features and very useful debugging tools it offers all a developer needs, is continually developed and kept up-to-date and makes coding fun.

Only the pricing, but a great product obviously needs to have it's price.

This software was able to improve productivity. There are warning if you're using deprecated code, and we can avoid using it because of this warning.

Have support for Drupal 8 , Symfony framework, and general modern PHP development like composer, vagrant, docker. Run exactly like Apache NetBeans but with more features.

Consume a lot of memory, but I think it is acceptable considering this is an IDE. Also a little bit complex for first time user.
