New in PhpStorm 2023.1 Build 231.8109.199 (Apr 4, 2023)

  • New UI Beta:
  • We introduced a new UI in the previous release which was disabled by default. In this release, we continue refining the new UI based on both your feedback and our research. See just a few enhancements mentioned below.
  • To enable the new UI, go to Preferences / Settings | Appearance & Behavior | New UI.
  • Compact Mode:
  • Compact Mode enhances the new UI’s user experience on smaller displays. It makes toolbars and tool window headers leaner, reduces spacings and paddings, and makes icons and buttons smaller to help you focus on the code, and not on the controls.
  • To turn on Compact Mode, go to the View menu and select Appearance | Compact Mode.
  • Visible file name pane when tabs are hidden in the new UI:
  • The name of the file that is currently open is now displayed in a pane when editor tabs are hidden.
  • Vertical split for tool windows:
  • This setting in the new UI allows you to divide the tool window’s area into 2 windows and arrange them so that you can see both tool windows at the same time. This is something you could do in the old UI, but was missing in the new version.
  • To add a tool window to this area and place it in the lower part, drag its icon along the side bar and drop it under the separator. Alternatively, you can right-click on the icon and assign the new placement for the tool window using the Move to action.
  • Project tabs in the new UI on macOS:
  • When opening several projects in the same window, macOS users can now easily switch between them using the project tabs displayed under the main toolbar.
  • Redesigned Run widget for the new UI:
  • In response to the feedback we received about the IDE’s new UI, we redesigned the Run widget in the main window header so that its appearance is unobtrusive and easier on the eyes.
  • PHP:
  • Run PHP scratch files on 3v4l.org:
  • PhpStorm 2023.1 natively integrates with 3v4l.org and allows you to run PHP scratch files on any desired PHP version without installing anything on your local machine.
  • Create a new PHP scratch file by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Insert.
  • Choose your desired PHP version from the drop-down and press the Run button. You’ll see the output of the script next to the editor.
  • If you find 3v4l.org useful, consider supporting its author with a donation here: github.com/sponsors/SjonHortensius.
  • Performance improvements:
  • In this release, we made several significant performance improvements. We will continue this effort in the next updates. Here is what you can expect in this release.
  • Shared indexes for popular PHP packages:
  • Some PHP packages are so popular that it doesn’t make sense to rebuild their index on every PhpStorm instance. Instead, we have already computed indexes for you for many popular PHP packages, like PHPUnit, aws/aws-sdk-php, doctrine/orm, laravel/framework, symfony/*, and others.
  • Now, when you open an indexed PHP project, PhpStorm checks composer.json to see which of the dependencies specified have a prebuilt shared index.
  • PhpStorm may download the index or still rebuild it locally, depending on whether your CPU and RAM are faster than your internet connection.
  • You can also generate your own shared indexes for your private projects. Learn more about how to do that here.
  • Before:
  • After:
  • Go to Class action available during indexing
  • As part of our effort to improve performance, we’re working to ensure that as many actions as possible will be available during indexing.
  • Go to Class (Ctrl+O or Navigate | Class...) is one of the most popular actions for navigating through code. In this release, it is available anytime, even while your index is being rebuilt. Previously, it would display an empty list until indexing was finished.
  • Annotator runs during indexing:
  • Another action that is now available even when the indexing is still in progress is annotating the code.
  • This means that many errors and soft keywords will be highlighted by PhpStorm ahead of time to make your workflow smoother and less time-consuming.
  • Scanning files to index process has become smart:
  • The IDE now opens much quicker because PhpStorm uses the project’s existing caches from the previous session and looks for any new files to index. If no changes are found after scanning, the IDE will be ready to work right away.
  • Faster inspections:
  • We’ve worked to improve the performance of all inspections, especially the heaviest ones. Some of them are now 30–40% faster, whereas for others, the boosted performance is not that drastic, but the combined effect is still noticeable. See the video below for a comparison with the previous versions.
  • Blade templates:
  • We drastically improved the performance of highlighting inside @php...@endphp tags. All keywords and constructs are now highlighted much faster regardless of the code complexity.
  • New IDE suggestion to reconfigure Windows Defender settings for better performance
  • Windows Defender’s real-time protection checks can significantly decrease the IDE’s speed. To avoid this, PhpStorm now suggests adding certain folders to Defender’s list of exclusions.
  • The notification provides the option to either reconfigure these settings automatically, or first check the Defender configuration instructions and then do it manually.
  • Debugger With Data Flow Analysis:
  • Users who prefer Xdebug for debugging PHP applications can now enjoy one more advanced feature, called the Data Flow Analysis (DFA) debugger. It allows you to see branches of code that will never be executed ahead of time, without going step by step with the debugger through the code.
  • PhpStorm shows the precomputed result of the conditions in the inlay to the right before the code is executed. This enables you to get a sense of the situation in the code without digging deeper. Branches that will not be executed will appear grayed out during the debugging session.
  • Turn off DFA during debugging:
  • If you’re not interested in this additional information during debugging, you can right-click on any precomputed value inlay and turn the DFA feature off for the current debugging session.
  • If you’d like to turn off the feature permanently, you can do so under Preferences/Settings | PHP | Debug | Xdebug.
  • Limitations:
  • Currently, PhpStorm does not precompute property values due to technical limitations. This is an area for future development.
  • Support for all PHPStan and Psalm tags:
  • All existing PHPStan and Psalm tags are now parsed correctly in PhpStorm. This makes heavily annotated code more readable.
  • Support for multi-composer and multi-vendor projects:
  • Previously, PhpStorm treated any open project as a single space. However, we see more and more cases when there are multiple applications in the same project, all with their own composer.json dependencies.
  • We implemented a foundation to support these kinds of projects with multiple composer.json files and vendor directories. This brings the following enhancements:
  • Excluded directories are set correctly – this improves overall performance because we run less analyses and inspections. It also makes multi-resolve more stable.
  • PSR roots are detected correctly – refactorings like Move Class work as expected when you drag and drop classes between applications in the project.
  • Missing extensions in composer.json are reported correctly per application.
  • New inspections:
  • Custom Regexp-based search and replace inspections:
  • ou can now use regular expressions to create your own search and replace inspections. These inspections can be especially useful for highlighting style and formatting problems or simple code-related issues.
  • Go to Settings/Preferences | Editor | Inspections and press the + icon. Select Add RegExp Search Inspection (or Replace) from the list, and you’ll be directed to a dialog where you can set up your new inspection.
  • For more advanced inspections that may involve type hierarchy checks, you can use Structural Search and Replace (SSR) inspections. Learn more about them in the docs, or check out the example in the video.
  • Built-in PHP inspections:
  • Every PhpStorm release comes with a bunch of new, ready-to-use inspections. PhpStorm 2023.1 is no exception, so here are a few worth mentioning:
  • Overriding method/extending class marked as @final
  • You can mark classes with the keyword final, producing a fatal error in case of a violation. A gentler approach would be to add the PHPDoc tag @final.
  • In this case, PhpStorm will highlight incorrect inheritance, but the code will not produce an error during execution.
  • Incompatible return types:
  • With a new quick-fix in PhpStorm 2023.1, you can now either add a compatible return type for methods in child classes, or change it if it’s incompatible.
  • Assertion can be replaced with assertTrue/assertFalse.
  • Multiple instances of isset() of nested array access or objects can be replaced with a single one.
  • Add global for variables accessed from other files.
  • Quality-of-life improvements for PHP:
  • Clickable paths and class references for var_dump() / dd() output in the terminal
  • We want to improve the debugging experience for users who prefer the “dump and die” approach. As a first step, we’ve already activated file paths and class references. Clicking on them opens the corresponding file in the editor.
  • Descriptions for file open modes in the completion popup:
  • In the previous PhpStorm release, we added descriptions for different formats in date-time functions.
  • Any functions that accept file modes, now have a detailed description of those in a completion drop-down. You never have to remember what r+, a, and w all mean anymore.
  • More live templates
  • We’ve introduced more live templates, including fun for the function template and fori for indexed loops.
  • User Experience
  • Full IDE zoom
  • It’s now possible to zoom in and out of PhpStorm as a whole, changing the size of all UI elements simultaneously. From the main menu, select View | Appearance and adjust the IDE’s scaling.
  • This could be helpful for demonstrations, livestreams, online meetings, or presentations.
  • Giving these actions unique shortcuts will make it simpler for you to invoke these actions. Go to the Search Actions (Ctrl+Shift+A) window, type “zoom ide”, and assign a shortcut after pressing Alt+Enter.
  • Option to save multiple tool window layouts
  • You can now save and manage several tool window layouts and switch between them when needed. Check the new actions under Window | Layouts to save, update, and activate the layouts.
  • New Remember size for each tool window setting
  • The new Remember size for each tool window checkbox is available in Settings/Preferences | Appearance & Behavior | Tool Windows. It allows you to unify the width of the side tool windows or retain the ability to freely adjust their sizes as you customize your layout.
  • Editor
  • Fill Paragraph for Markdown files
  • Markdown files now support the Fill Paragraph editor action which lets you break up long pieces of text into lines of equal length.
  • To do this, put the caret inside the paragraph you want to change and choose the action from the Edit menu. You can also use Find Action (Ctrl+Shift+A) to look for the Fill Paragraph command and run it.
  • New Smart Keys settings page for Markdown
  • We’ve added a page to Settings/Preferences | Editor | General | Smart Keys where you can set up and change your Markdown preferences.
  • This page should make it easier for you to manage your preferences because it has separate checkboxes for different editor features. Previously, there was only one checkbox in Settings/Preferences | Languages & Frameworks.
  • Option to show whitespaces only in selected code:
  • There’s a new Selection checkbox in Settings/Preferences | Editor | General | Appearance | Show Whitespace that allows you to configure this setting so that the IDE shows whitespaces as small dots only when you select code.
  • VCS / Git / GitHub:
  • VCS status color hints in the Structure tool window
  • In the Structure tool window, we’ve added color hints for changes.
  • This means you can now see which properties, methods, and functions have been changed or added.
  • Improved branches popup:
  • It’s now easier to move between branches because they are stored in lists that can be expanded.
  • Auto-completion in the Create New Branch popup:
  • With PhpStorm 2023.1 EAP #1, we implemented auto-completion in the Create New Branch popup. Once you start typing a name for your new branch, the IDE will suggest relevant prefixes based on the names of existing local branches.
  • Background commit checks:
  • Commit checks for Git and Mercurial are now performed in the background after you commit but before you push. This should speed up the overall commit process.
  • Improved code review workflow for GitHub:
  • Our research found that the most common scenario of using pull requests is when a user goes first to GitHub, and then refers to the IDE in cases where it’s necessary to fully browse the code.
  • To facilitate this workflow, we reworked the Pull Request tool window. It now features a dedicated tab for each pull request you open. The tab instantly displays the list of changed files, but now provides fewer distractions than before. This allows you to focus better on the current task.
  • There’s now also a dedicated button to easily execute the action that’s considered the most important given the pull request’s current state.
  • Docker improvements:
  • Merged log from all Docker-compose containers:
  • The Dashboard tab of the Docker-compose node now pulls together logs from all Docker-compose containers and displays them all in one place. They are also updated in real time.
  • Support for Azure Container Registry:
  • You can now easily connect to the Azure Container Registry. Go to Preferences / Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Docker | Docker Registry and set it up by selecting the Docker V2 option in the Registry input field.
  • New setting to apply the :z mount option to bind volumes on SELinux
  • You are now able to add the :z configuration flag to Docker bind mounts, which allows you to connect volumes to Docker containers on SELinux workstations.
  • To enable this function, go to Preferences / Settings | Advanced Settings | Docker.
  • Web
  • Astro support:
  • Long-awaited Astro support has landed in PhpStorm! You can get it through our new Astro plugin, which can be installed from Preferences / Settings | Plugins. The plugin provides basic functionality including syntax highlighting, code completion with automatic imports, refactorings, navigation, correct formatting, and more.
  • Support for TypeScript in Vue templates:
  • We’ve added TypeScript support in Vue templates. It’s enabled when you set the lang attribute in a script tag to ts. Previously, JavaScript was used regardless of the lang attribute in the script tag. PhpStorm will now provide support for inline casting, improved type narrowing, and correct information about inferred types in quick documentation in templates of Vue Single-File Components.
  • Tailwind CSS configuration:
  • In this release, we've added support for configuration options, such as custom class name completion under the classAttributes option, or experimental ones like tailwindCSS.experimental.configFile.
  • You can set up these configuration options under Preferences / Settings | Languages & Frameworks | Style Sheets | Tailwind CSS.

New in PhpStorm 2022.3 Build 223.7571.212 (Dec 7, 2022)

  • What’s New in PhpStorm 2022.3:
  • PhpStorm 2022.3 is a major update that includes the new UI preview, PHP 8.2 support, Code Vision for PHP, the quick-fix preview, support for ParaTest, the rendered view for PHPDoc, Redis in database tools, and much more.
  • NEW UI:
  • The brand new UI is available for everyone to try. It is turned off by default because it’s still in the Beta/Preview stage.
  • You can switch to the new UI in Settings/Preferences | Appearance & Behavior | New UI Preview.
  • The new UI is cleaner, has fewer distractions, and works faster while allowing you to do most things the way you're used to.
  • USER EXPERIENCE:
  • In this release you will find many additional visual improvements. Here are some of the most notable ones.
  • Code Vision:
  • Right in the editor, next to the PHP code, you can see additional information about PHP symbols: class, trait, interface, method, or function.
  • You'll see usages number – no need to click on a symbol to find it out.
  • For classes and interfaces, you'll see the number of inheritors and implementations, respectively.
  • You'll also get information from Git about who made the most changes to a certain piece of code, allowing you to quickly see who is a code owner and has the most expert knowledge about that part of the code.
  • Quick-fix preview:
  • You can fix some code problems automatically by pressing Alt+Enter.
  • Now you will be able to preview the proposed quick-fix or intention before you apply it and see instantly how your code will be altered.
  • PHPDoc rendered view:
  • You can now change how PHPDoc blocks look in PhpStorm 2022.3 with an option that provides better-looking rendering and support for HTML formatting. This makes reading heavily annotated code more pleasant and easy.
  • To toggle the new rendered view, click on the gutter icon Rendered view gutter icon near any PHPDoc block.
  • To turn on rendering for all PHPDoc comments, right-click on the gutter icon and choose Render All Doc Comments.
  • Improved Quick Documentation:
  • If you press Ctrl+Q on any function, class, or method, PhpStorm will show documentation right in the editor.
  • This popup has been significantly reworked. Now you don’t need to switch to the browser and search for documentation, because everything is right in your IDE.
  • PHP 8.2:
  • PhpStorm 2022.3 comes with full support for PHP 8.2. Most of the changes in the IDE will fit organically into your PhpStorm workflow, so we’ll only mention the new features that you need to know about.
  • Readonly classes:
  • A readonly class is a quick way to declare a class that has only readonly properties. You can use these classes for additional data integrity.
  • For readonly classes, PhpStorm provides:
  • A quick-fix to convert a class with readonly properties to a readonly class.
  • An inspection to make sure that readonly classes can only have readonly children.
  • Detecting redundant readonly properties in readonly classes.
  • Checks for prohibited static and dynamic properties in readonly classes.
  • Deprecated dynamic properties:
  • Accessing non-existent properties in PHP 8.2 will cause a deprecation notice.
  • PhpStorm highlights these usages and provides quick-fixes for the errors, either by adding the property, or by using the #[AllowDynamicProperties] attribute.
  • Typesystem improvements:
  • PHP 8.2 adds support for disjunctive normal form types, as well as standalone null, true, and false types. We’ve added support for all of them in PhpStorm as well.
  • More deprecations:
  • PHP 8.2 introduces a few more deprecations, and PhpStorm has you covered with corresponding inspections to spot them and quick-fixes to update your code.
  • Deprecated ${} string interpolation:
  • If you need to use a variable inside a string, there used to be three possible ways for interpolation. One of them is now marked as deprecated and will be removed in the future.
  • PhpStorm will highlight the occurrences, and you can use an Alt+Enter quick-fix to upgrade the code.
  • Deprecated partially supported callables:
  • Several ways of calling functions have been deprecated in PHP 8.2.
  • PhpStorm highlights invalid code, and you can use an Alt+Enter quick-fix to upgrade your code.
  • PhpStorm can scan your whole codebase at once to detect all possible problems. Go to Code | Analyze Code | Run Inspection by Name. Next, search for “dynamic property”, for example, and PhpStorm will do the rest.
  • DATABASES: REDIS SUPPORT:
  • A preliminary iteration of long-awaited support for Redis has been implemented.
  • DEBUGGING:
  • If you’re having trouble configuring Xdebug, here are a few things you can now do in PhpStorm to identify the problem.
  • Validate phpinfo() output:
  • Add a phpinfo() call to your PHP script or page and copy the output of the function that you see in your browser. Then call Run / Web Server Debug Validation, and you’ll see a dialog that allows you to paste the phpinfo() output from the previous step.
  • PhpStorm will analyze the server configuration and detect most common problems.
  • Check the server configuration with a script
  • If the phpinfo() information didn’t help, you can use PhpStorm’s validation script on the server.
  • Return value debugging with Xdebug:
  • Xdebug 3.2 has an extra “return from function” debugging step that allows you to inspect the return value.
  • PhpStorm 2022.3 supports this new feature. To trigger it, press Step Into when you’re on the last statement in the function. As a result, an additional variable will be shown in Watches.
  • PHP TOOLS INTEGRATION:
  • Run tests in parallel with ParaTest:
  • The long-anticipated support for parallel testing in PhpStorm has finally arrived!
  • To run tests in parallel, you need to check the Use Paratest option in your tests’ Run configuration, and check that the path to the ParaTest binary is set correctly. Usually, if you have ParaTest added in your composer.json, then the path should look something like this: ./vendor/bin/paratest_for_phpstorm.
  • Use external formatters for PHP:
  • It is now possible to choose an external formatter in Preferences | PHP | Quality Tools. You can now use FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer or squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer for this purpose.
  • Robo integration:
  • A popular task runner for PHP, Robo, received the following extended support:
  • A special tool window, Robo tasks, is available if a Robo class is present in the project.
  • A running configuration for executing Robo tasks is available inside the context menu and invoked from a Robo method.
  • Each public method inside a Robo class has a gutter icon for the respective configurations.
  • Prophecy support:
  • If you use the Prophecy mocking framework in your tests, working with it in PhpStorm will now be easier.
  • More features for PHP:
  • Datetime format preview:
  • You don’t need to remember or look for date() formats anymore. PhpStorm 2022.3 shows a tooltip with an example date when hovering on a date format string.
  • In addition, when editing a date format string, you’ll get an autocompletion with hints for all characters that are recognized as format parameters.
  • Support iteration over list array shapes:
  • Support for array shape annotations was added in PhpStorm 2021.2, then in 2022.1, we added multiline and nested syntax support for array shapes.
  • The final piece that was missing is provided in PhpStorm 2022.3 – you’ll get full code completion for array-shape items in loops.
  • New Settings Sync solution:
  • We merged two old synchronization solutions (IDE Settings Sync and Settings Repository) into a single one – the new Settings Sync. It allows you to reliably synchronize settings across different IDEs and machines.
  • If you weren’t using a settings synchronization solution before, but want to try the new one, you can enable it via Settings / Preferences | Settings Sync | Enable Settings Sync.
  • Docker:
  • Docker executable from WSL without Docker Desktop:
  • You can set up this type of connection in Settings / Preferences | Build, Execution, Deployment | Docker.
  • New context action: Pull image:
  • Call up the context actions (Alt-Enter) on the highlighted image name and then select Pull Docker image to pull a required image without running it from Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, or even from tests using Testcontainers.
  • Support for the .dockerignore file type:
  • Get highlighting and completion in .dockerignore files.
  • Support for the heredoc format in Dockerfile files
  • Use multiline scripts right in your Dockerfiles.
  • Docker connections from Docker Contexts:
  • Set up additional Docker connections using Docker Contexts by calling the Add Service context menu in the Services view and selecting Docker Connections From Docker Contexts.
  • HTTP Client:
  • Format long requests in HTTP Client:
  • The HTTP Client now provides better formatting options for requests with long URLs. You can also use the Put query parameters on separate lines context action to break the query into smaller fragments on different lines.
  • Pre-request scripts:
  • The HTTP Client now supports script blocks that are executed before requests. You can generate some data before request execution and pass it to the subsequent request using variables.
  • New APIs for JavaScript handlers:
  • PhpStorm now provides the сrypto API, making it capable of computing the md5 or sha1 hash values for an HTTP request.
  • There are now more random functions available, which is convenient for quick API testing.
  • Web Development:
  • New project templates for Next.js and Vite:
  • The New Project wizard available on PhpStorm’s Welcome screen now includes project templates for Vite and Next.js. We’ve also updated the project template for Vue to make sure it follows the latest standards.
  • Code Vision for JavaScript and TypeScript:
  • Code Vision inlay hints now also work for JavaScript and TypeScript. These hints will make it easier to track the usages of various classes, methods, type aliases, and interfaces in your code.
  • vue updates:
  • PhpStorm can now take care of unresolved imports and will offer suggestions for importing Vue components. We’ve also supported the props destructure syntax, improved the behavior of code completion and type checking for Vue library component props, and fixed several Nuxt 3 issues.
  • Vitest support:
  • PhpStorm now supports Vitest, a Vite-native unit test framework! You can run, re-run, and debug your tests in all of the key ways you’d expect, including through gutter icons. Also, watch mode is enabled with the All tests scenario by default. Snapshot testing and coverage are supported in watch mode, too, giving you near-instant feedback on coverage when coding.

New in PhpStorm 2022.3 Build 223.7571.147 RC 2 (Dec 5, 2022)

  • It's the final build before the stable release.
  • Let's take a brief look at some of the most interesting improvements coming in v2022.3:
  • New UI (Preview)
  • PHP 8.2 full support
  • Code Vision for PHP
  • Quick-fix preview
  • Rendered PHPDoc view
  • Running tests in parallel with ParaTest
  • Xdebug setup validation

  • Redis support in Database tools
  • And much more

New in PhpStorm 2022.3 Build 223.7571.15 Beta 2 (Nov 21, 2022)

  • A new way to work with projects in WSL2:
  • PhpStom 2022.3 brings an alternative way to work with projects running in WSL2 file systems. Instead of running a full IDE on Windows, your IDE backend will launch directly in WSL2 itself. Then you connect to it the same way you would connect to any remote machine when using remote development in PhpStorm. This can provide better IDE performance when working with projects in WSL2.
  • Important note on the new Settings Sync plugin:
  • With the PhpStorm 2022.3 EAP, we introduced the new Settings Sync solution, described in detail in this blog post. Here are two more important points about switching to the new solution:
  • If you are using PhpStorm 2022.2.x or earlier with the old Settings Sync plugin and want to enable the new plugin on v2022.3, your settings will be migrated from the older version, but they won’t be synchronized between v2022.2 and v2022.3 afterward.
  • The Settings Repository plugin has been unbundled. If you’re using it, your settings will be migrated when upgrading to v2022.3, but the new Settings Sync plugin won’t be turned on automatically. If you want to keep on using the Settings Repository plugin, you can install it manually from JetBrains Marketplace.

New in PhpStorm 2022.3 Build 223.7401.19 Beta (Nov 14, 2022)

  • Improved Quick Documentation:
  • If you press F1 on any function, class, or method, PhpStorm will show documentation right in the editor.
  • This popup has been significantly reworked. Now you don’t need to switch to the browser and search for documentation, because everything is right above your code.
  • Redis support in Database tools:
  • A preliminary iteration of long-awaited support for Redis has been implemented.
  • You will be able to do the following:
  • Connect to Redis Single Instance (Redis Cluster is not yet supported).
  • Introspect databases and keys, including setting a default key filter for the introspector.
  • Explore database: separate folders for keys of different types for Redis v6.0+, and one folder with all keys for older versions.
  • Execute queries: JDBC driver allows working query execution in most cases.
  • Get coding assistance: highlighting, keyword completion, working resolution for databases and keys.
  • Edit objects: Renaming and deleting keys.
  • View data: with filtering, and JSON highlighting.

New in PhpStorm 2022.3 Build 223.6646.115 EAP 3 (Oct 22, 2022)

  • PhpStorm 2022.3 Early Access #3: Support for PHP 8.2:
  • Readonly classes:
  • We’ve added full support for one of the most anticipated features of the upcoming PHP 8.2 release. There is a quick-fix to convert a class with only readonly properties to a readonly class, but we also added inspections to make sure that readonly classes can only have readonly children, we detect redundant readonly properties in readonly classes, and we made sure that PhpStorm knows about prohibited static and dynamic properties in readonly classes.
  • Deprecated dynamic properties:
  • PhpStorm also knows about deprecated dynamic properties and how to deal with them. We’ll tell you when you’re using dynamic properties, and we’ll provide some quick-fixes to fix the errors: either by adding or renaming the property, or by using the #[AllowDynamicProperties] attribute.
  • Typesystem improvements:
  • PHP 8.2 adds support for disjunctive normal form types, as well as standalone null, true, and false types. We’ve added support for all of them in PhpStorm, as well.
  • New random number generator:
  • PHP 8.2 has a brand-new random number generator. PhpStorm knows about all the newly added classes and can help you work with the new RNG more easily, such as navigating to it, finding its usages, and more.
  • Sensitive parameters:
  • Sensitive parameters can be marked with the #[SensitiveParameter] attribute in PHP 8.2 to make sure that their values are never shown in stack traces. PhpStorm adds support for this attribute as well.
  • Constants in traits:
  • Before PHP 8.2, you weren’t allowed to use constants in traits. Luckily, that has changed, and PhpStorm has full support for it as well, from detecting constants in traits to being able to move them via the refactoring menu.
  • More deprecations:
  • There is an ongoing discussion about whether PHP has to reduce the number of BC breaks and deprecations or not. What do you think?
  • Anyway, PHP 8.2 introduces a couple more deprecations, and PhpStorm has you covered with corresponding inspections to spot them, and quick-fixes to update your code.
  • Deprecated ${ string interpolation
  • If you need to use a variable inside a string, there are two possible ways you can do interpolation: [code example].
  • There was one more way before PHP 8.2, but it is now marked as deprecated and will be removed in the future.
  • PhpStorm will highlight the occurrences, and you can use an Alt+Enter quick-fix to upgrade the code:
  • Deprecated partially supported callables:
  • In PHP 8.2, the following ways of calling functions will be deprecated:

New in PhpStorm 2021.3 Build 213.5744.279 (Dec 3, 2021)

  • PhpStorm 2021.3 is a major update that introduces support for the recently released PHP 8.1, better handling of generics in PHP, and enhancements for deployment, HTTP client, and VCS integration.
  • PHP 8.1:
  • A new version of the interpreter has just been released! Check out the video from Brent Roose and community members for an overview of all the new language features.
  • What’s new in PHP 8.1
  • Enums:
  • One of the most highly anticipated features of PHP 8.1 is enums.
  • Support for enums was introduced in PhpStorm 2021.2, offering code suggestions and validation to protect you from using them incorrectly.
  • An enum in PHP contains a set of cases, can have methods, and can be used as a type hint. In all of these cases, PhpStorm provides error highlighting and proper suggestions to save you time.
  • Learn more:
  • Readonly properties:
  • Readonly properties are the properties that cannot be changed after initialization, that is, after a value is assigned to them.
  • PhpStorm 2021.3 will help you make use of readonly properties in your code and make sure they are used correctly.
  • A dedicated inspection will check that a readonly property is initialized only in the same scope where it’s declared, either the property declaration itself or in a class method.
  • Since readonly properties must always be typed, PhpStorm will check if the type declaration is specified.
  • A readonly property cannot have a default value, but you can initialize it in the constructor as a promoted property, so PhpStorm provides a quick-fix for this.
  • `new` operator in initializers
  • In PHP 8.1, you can use new expressions when initializing default parameters’ values, static variables, global constants, and attribute arguments.
  • PhpStorm will verify such usages and highlight invalid cases such as providing a new object as a class constant or property.
  • First-class callables:
  • PHP 8.1 lets you get a reference to any function by means of the first-class callable syntax. Now, instead of writing $fn = Closure::fromCallable('strlen');, you can use a shorter $fn = strlen(...); form, and PhpStorm will provide you with an Alt+Enter quick-fix to convert your code to the new syntax.
  • Pure intersection types:
  • PHP 8.1 brings intersection types, whose value must satisfy multiple type constraints instead of just a single one.
  • PhpStorm will now provide code completion for these constructs and check that an intersection type is not combined with a union type. And if you have an intersection type specified as a PHPDoc annotation, PhpStorm will interpret it correctly, too.
  • New return type: `never:
  • PHP 8.1 introduces a never type for return values. If a function is declared with the never type, then it will not return a value and will either throw an exception or end the script’s execution (just like the die(), exit(), or trigger_error() functions do).
  • Final constants:
  • In PHP 8.1 you can declare final class constants so that they cannot be overridden in child classes, and PhpStorm will verify such cases.
  • Deprecations:
  • In addition to new features, PHP 8.1 brings several deprecations aimed at making the language more consistent and easier to use. PhpStorm will help you locate such deprecated code. Here are a couple of examples:
  • Deprecated usage of Serializable interfaces:
  • Instead of Serializable interfaces, it’s recommended to use the __serialize() and __unserialize() magic methods. In PHP 8.1, you can still use Serializable, but only if the implementing class uses both __serialize() and __unserialize(). PhpStorm 2021.3 highlights incorrect code and offers an Alt+Enter quick-fix for adding the magic methods.
  • Restricted GLOBALS usage
  • Using the $GLOBALS superglobal variable in PHP 8.1 is now restricted – it is not allowed to perform write or read/write operations on the $GLOBALS taken as a whole. PhpStorm will highlight such problematic usages.
  • Generics for PHP:
  • PHP does not provide support for generics on a language level yet, but using them via annotations has already become quite popular. They make code safer and more predictable when working with collections, containers, factories, and other applications. PhpStorm 2021.3 expands the support for generics via the @template annotation.
  • Improved support for Doctrine Collections:
  • PhpStorm brings support for the IteratorAggregate interface and iterating over Doctrine Collections now works out of the box.
  • Support for Laravel collections:
  • In the upcoming Laravel release, the illuminate/collections package will support generics annotations. PhpStorm 2021.3 provides better code completion for such collections.
  • Inferring generic types from constructor:
  • If there is a generic @template parameter in a constructor and you want to specify the type by passing an object as an argument, PhpStorm will now infer the correct type and provide code completion.
  • Refactorings:
  • Move classes via drag and drop:
  • Earlier, to move a class and update its namespace, your only option was to use the move refactoring (F6) in the code editor. In PhpStorm 2021.3, you can use drag and drop in the Project view instead. This way, the project structure would be visible during operation. And what's more, you can move several classes or entire folders using this technique, and PhpStorm will correctly update all the references.
  • Inline function or method:
  • The Inline method refactoring lets you replace the calls to the method with the method’s content and delete the method itself. In PhpStorm 2021.3, the refactoring received multiple improvements and will cover even more cases. For example, non-static methods, method chains, and arrow/anonymous functions passed as parameters are now supported.
  • To use this refactoring, position the caret at a method and press Ctrl+Alt+N. If there is a private method that is used only once in the code, press Alt+Enter and use the new Inline Method quick-fix.
  • Inline variable:
  • The Inline variable refactoring lets you replace the references to a variable with the actual variable’s value. In PhpStorm 2021.3, this refactoring supports inlining NOWDOC/HEREDOC variables and includes several usability enhancements.
  • In addition, PhpStorm will now detect variables with a single usage and provide you with an Inline Variable quick-fix, which you can apply via Alt+Enter.
  • Deployment:
  • Support for rsync:
  • When using an SFTP server for deployment, you can enable rsync for uploading and downloading files and folders, which will significantly increase transfer speeds. The corresponding Use rsync for download/upload option is located in the Advanced section of the deployment server configuration.
  • The path to the rsync executable can be configured under Settings/Preferences | Tools | Rsync. For macOS and Linux, it should be available right away. For Windows, it is recommended to use Cygwin and OpenSSH.
  • Retransmit files that failed to upload:
  • PhpStorm 2021.3 lets you retransmit the files that failed to upload. In such cases, click the Retry link in the File Transfer tool window.
  • Proxy support for SSH connections:
  • You can now specify an HTTP or SOCKS proxy server for your SSH configuration under Settings/Preferences | Tools | SSH Configurations.
  • It’s also possible to use the global IDE-wide proxy. To do this, enable the Use global IDE proxy settings checkbox and provide the proxy details under Settings/Preferences | Appearance & Behavior | System Settings | HTTP Proxy.
  • Quickly switch default server for project:
  • PhpStorm 2021.3 provides a new status bar widget that shows the current default server. When you need to deal with multiple environments, you can switch between them right from there without going to the settings.
  • HTTP Client:
  • Binary responses in the HTTP client:
  • The HTTP client now supports binary responses. If a received response is an image, you will see its preview right in the response console.
  • Output redirection to custom file or directory:
  • The HTTP client can now redirect output to a custom file or directory. It supports two operators for force and soft redirects:
  • The >> operator always creates a new file, adding an -n suffix to a file name if such a file already exists.
  • The >>! operator rewrites the file if it already exists.
  • In addition to providing explicit file paths, you can now use new predefined variables: {{$projectRoot}} points to the project root folder and {{$historyFolder}} points to the requests history folder.
  • Support for HTTP request identifiers:
  • In PhpStorm 2021.3, your HTTP requests can be named! You can provide an identifier as a comment with @name as well as text in the requests separator (###).
  • You can then invoke a request by its name via the Services tool window, from the Run Configuration, Run Anything, or Search Everywhere dialogs.
  • User Experience:
  • New Bookmarks tool window:
  • In PhpStorm 2021.3, the Favorites and Bookmarks functionality has been merged into one – Bookmarks. You can add a bookmark on a specific line, file, or folder by pressing F11. All the added bookmarks will be available in the unified Bookmarks tool window.
  • Source preview for Show Usages:
  • The Show Usages dialog, which you can invoke by Ctrl+clicking a symbol, can now display the source code preview per found usage. To enable the preview, click the Icon of the toolbar button toolbar button.
  • VCS:
  • Align Changes Highlighting:
  • We’ve added the new Align Changes Highlighting option to the Diff screen settings that can be found under the gear icon. This feature makes the Diff easier to read, especially when there are complex modifications, because it aligns the unchanged lines so that they are displayed next to each other. This helps you see the code that has been added or removed more clearly.
  • Checkout and Rebase onto Current for remote branches:
  • The Checkout and Rebase onto Current action lets you check out the selected branch and rebase it on top of a branch that is currently checked out. This was only possible for local branches before, but in PhpStorm 2021.3, this action can be applied to remote branches as well.
  • New ‘Push All up to Here’ action:
  • If you have several commits that are ready to be shipped while others are still work in progress, then you may want to push only the ones you are sure about. PhpStorm 2021.3 will let you push commits up to the one you have selected in the Log tab of the Git tool window. Select the necessary commit, right-click it and use the new Push All up to Here action.
  • Reorganized VCS settings:
  • The Version Control page in Settings/Preferences has been streamlined for better usability and now lists all of the available settings. The Git node is now divided into sections that account for the most important processes: Commit, Push, and Update. A separate node for Directory mappings has been added. Since the background operations are now switched on by default, the Background node has been removed.

New in PhpStorm 2021.3 Build 213.5744.147 RC (Nov 22, 2021)

  • Besides the new features of the upcoming release, which we've covered in detail in the EAP blog posts, this build introduces Remote Development: JetBrains Gateway.
  • With Remote Development, you can connect to a remote machine running an IDE backend and work on a project located there as if it were on your local machine.
  • This feature is still under heavy development and is now in the beta state. See our docs to learn more about it.
