PHPStorm 8 has just been released

PreviousNext

The excellent PHP IDE PHPStorm just had a major release these days: Version 8 is out, coming with latest PHP 5.5 / 5.6 language features, language-in-language-detection code completion (PHP in HTML, SQL in PHP, etc.), lots of simple clever workflow tools (opening a single file without creating a whole project), wordpress support and native one-click remote PHP debugging, especially useful when working with Vagrant. PHPStorm is totally free for open-source authors and available for $90-$180 for developers or companies for a lifetime (yes, full lifetime) licence including major updates for a year. Startups, students, teachers etc. get massive discounts up to 80%.
