PhpStorm is a complete multiplatform development environment that allows you to work with PHP applications. It has syntax prompting functions for classes, functions, methods, array indexes and variable names. The editor supports documentation created in PHPDoc format and offers the possibility of refactorization of code, including renaming:

files, functions, constants, classes, methods, parameters or variables. In PhpStorm you will be able to debug both the application (Zend Debugger and Xdebug) and JavaScript and perform unit tests. The program has support for Zend Framework and Symfony command line tools to support project management.

What sets PhpStorm apart from the competition is the support for most popular version control systems: Git, CVS, SVN, Mercurial and Perforce. The program is also integrated with the GitHub.com website.

PhpStorm can also be used to manage databases. PhpStrom includes a WebStrom environment, offering convenient tools for creating HTML page code, JavaScript scripts and CSS styles. In the HTML code editing mode, the program can search for CSS class elements related to a given element.

PhpStorm recognizes Leaner CSS (LESS) and SASS/SCSS syntax, which allows for simplified cascade style management.
