The lightning-fast IDE for PHP and web development with deep AI-assisted orchestration.
PhpStorm is the industry-standard Integrated Development Environment (IDE) specifically engineered for PHP developers, built on the IntelliJ Platform by JetBrains. In 2026, its technical architecture has evolved into an AI-first workspace, where the JetBrains AI Assistant is deeply integrated into the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) analysis, providing context-aware code generation that understands project-wide dependencies. It excels in modern PHP frameworks such as Laravel, Symfony, and WordPress, offering specialized tooling for each. Beyond PHP, it provides the full feature set of WebStorm and DataGrip, making it a comprehensive solution for full-stack developers. The IDE’s 2026 market position is solidified by its 'Code With Me' collaborative engine and its shift toward a more modular, high-performance 'Fleet' backend, reducing indexing latency while maintaining the deep static analysis that sets it apart from lightweight editors like VS Code. It provides a seamless transition between local development and remote environments through Gateway, supporting containerized workflows and cloud-based development instances with high-fidelity UI synchronization.
Uses LLMs integrated with the IDE's internal PSI (Program Structure Interface) to provide code suggestions that respect project architecture.
