PhpStorm

PhpStorm is essential for modern PHP. It understands Laravel Facades, Symfony Dependency Injection, and Doctrine queries.

When to Use

• Enterprise PHP & Laravel/Symfony Development: Deep static analysis, auto-completion, and framework-aware refactoring.
• Interactive Step Debugging with Xdebug: Profiling execution paths, variable inspections, and setting conditional breakpoints.
• PHPStan & Psalm Static Analysis Integration: Real-time IDE diagnostics and automated type inference repairs.
• Database Tooling & Remote Server Deployment: Managing MariaDB/PostgreSQL instances and SFTP/SSH deployment pipelines.

Quick Start

1. Docker Xdebug Configuration for PhpStorm
