PhpStorm is a commercial IDE, it is arguably the best IDE for PHP developers with features such as code completion, code inspection, phpunit support, Behat support, database editor, debugger, etc.

Installation

OS X

You can optionally install latest Java JDK 1.7.x from Oracle (Java 1.6 from Apple is not maintained much). By default PhpStorm uses only older 1.6.x java, but you can hack PhpStorm 7 to be compatible with Java 1.7 by editing the "PhpStorm.app/Contents/Info.plist" file, set JVMOptions - JVMVersion = 1.7*

General settings

  •  Disable missing @throws tag warning in "Preferences / Project Settings / Inspections / PHP / PHPDoc"
  • Strip trailing whitespace from "Modified Lines" in "Preferences / IDE Settings / Editor"
  • Show line numbers in "Preferences / IDE Settings / Editor / Appearance"

Bug tracker integration

Code formatting

  •  Setup coding style to use all rules from Coding style in "Preferences / Project Settings / Code Style / PHP" - this will allow you to use automatic code formatting and it does nice code formatting on copy/paste.
  • Set line separator to Unix in "Preferences / Project Settings / Code Style / General".
  • Set right margin to 132 or 180 in "Preferences / Project Settings / Code Style / General".

  3. Go to "Run / Edit configurations"
  4. Add PHPUnit configuration by clicking on "+"
