PhpStorm 2.1 — Take PHP by Storm

PHPDoc @var annotations

Now support Netbeans/Zend style (single-asterisk), along with the ability to put it after actual initialization. It will further improve collaboration for teams using different IDEs simultaneously.

'Extract Function/Method' refactoring for PHP

The point of this refactoring is to convert a part of a larger function/method into a new function/method. This might be useful if you need to make your code easier to understand or reuse a specific code fragment. See example...

HTML tag tree highlighting

A new code highlighting feature makes it easier to work with large and complex HTML files, with a nested tags structure:

htaccess support

Support for ".htaccess" Apache config files:

• Syntax highlighting
• Completion for common htaccess-directive names
• Quick documentation lookup
• and more...

Easier to Use Completion Techniques

Don't bother pressing Shift anymore: the improved code completion will understand you perfectly and quickly provide the matches you need.

And from now on, PHP completion will complete class names from other namespaces, inserting the fully qualified name. You may need to invoke completion manually to get them in the completion list.

More Comfort with Version Control

• TODO items verification on VCS commit
• Import patches into WebStorm shelf
• Misc. improvements for all supported VCS
