PHP Editor
We've collected some of the most exciting features that, in our opinion, the IDE provides. Just the top of the iceberg. Read the sections below, scan the screenshots and download the product to try it in action.
Intelligent Editor
Web IDE provides rich and intelligent code editor for PHP with syntax highlighting, on-the-fly error checking, and smart code completion.
Thorough source code analysis allows us to provide code completion even to an unannotated code, for example:
- function return type is deducted from its body and return statements
- class property types (and even declarations) are extracted from constructor code
File structure view and class, method and call hierarchy views allow for faster code review and navigation.
PHPDoc support
IDE editor considers PHPDoc for providing code completion based on @property, @method
and @var annotations.
Variables name and types are completed when writing PHPDoc.
PHP code refactorings also correct PHPDocs to keep them up-to-date.
PHP Debugging
Web IDE provides numerous options for debugging your PHP code allowing you to:
set conditional breakpoints with
smart step into that allows you to choose a particular method to step into from the
call chain
- inspect context-relevant local variables and user-defined watches, including arrays and complex objects, and edit values on the fly
- evaluate an expression in runtime
debug a page in multiple sessions simultaneously
- keep a debugging session alive while moving between pages
XDebug is currently supported. Zend Debugger planned.
Refactoring
Rename refactoring works for files, functions, constants, classes, properties, methods, parameters, local and global variables. Make global project changes easily and safely. Local changes are made inplace.
Planned refactorings include: move, pull/push/extract/inline, etc.
PHP Unit Testing Support
Develop PHPUnit tests in Web IDE and run them instantly from directory, file or class using the context menu options.
Dedicated Run/Debug
configurations allow to run needed set of tests at any time later.
Tests are executed in a dedicated Test Runner UI displaying results overview and detailed stats for the whole suite and every particular test.
in case of a test failure you can instantly get from the stacktrace to the line of code where the error occurred.
