JetBrains PhpStorm is a commercial, cross-platform IDE for PHP^[1] built on JetBrains' IntelliJ IDEA platform.

PhpStorm provides an editor for PHP, HTML and JavaScript with on-the-fly code analysis, error prevention and automated refactorings for PHP and JavaScript code. PhpStorm's code completion supports PHP 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 & 5.6^[2] (modern and legacy projects), including generators, coroutines, the finally keyword, list in foreach, namespaces, closures, traits and short array syntax. It includes a full-fledged SQL editor with editable query results.^[3]^[4]

PhpStorm is built on IntelliJ IDEA, which is written in Java. Users can extend the IDE by installing plugins created for the IntelliJ Platform or write their own plugins.

All features available in WebStorm are included in PhpStorm,^[5] which adds support for PHP and databases.^[6] WebStorm ships with pre-installed JavaScript plugins (such as for Node.js), which are available for PhpStorm as well at no cost.^[7]

Licensing and updates policy

In November 2015 JetBrains switched to licensing PhpStorm on a subscription basis. Annual subscriptions, or monthly subscriptions maintained for 12 consecutive months also receive a "perpetual fallback license" to the major version available at time of purchase. PhpStorm is available for individual developers, and business and organisations. Additional discounted and complimentary licenses are available for startups, students and teachers, and non-commercial open source projects. These complimentary licenses require approval and do not include the perpetual fallback clause, i.e. they expire.
