Zend Debugger and Xdebug

PhpStorm 2.0 brings Zend Debugger, Xdebug and Browser Toolbar support to a new level. The IDE will automatically listen for debugger connection, requesting missing file mappings as needed, so with a single button-click in the browser the debugger will pop up with your page source. It also works on all AJAX requests while a debugger cookie is set.

Browser-initiated Debugging Support

You can use the Zend Toolbar, XDebug toolbar or our browser bookmarklets to initiate debugging directly from any page in a modern browser such as Firefox, IE, Google Chrome or Safari.

Command Line Tool Support

You can quickly run shell commands with dedicated support for framework tools, including completion and parameter info for Zend_Tool and Symfony tool and adding these features for custom tools via an XML descriptor.

Advanced Code Inspection

The new PhpStorm introduces several new code inspections:

Control flow / Unreachable statement
Control flow / Wrong catch clauses order
Probably bug / Wrong string concatenation operator
Type compatibility / Invalid foreach() argument type

New Git Log UI

As much as our users were excited about our Git support, we are making it even better. Now you will be able to filter changes by branch, tag or developer, highlight changes made in a specific folder, or show differences right in the IDE. Look at the screenshot:
