PhpStorm

The focus of this blog is to help set up PHP Projects in PhpStorm. I have also included snippets from my side-projects. I hope the information will be useful for other PHP projects. This is a follow-up to my blog Standard Setup for PHP projects from 2020.

I have recently configured my windows 10 laptop with an additional SSD, so I could experiment with Linux. I have already installed Pop!_OS Git, PhpStorm and Docker. I haven’t installed PHP or Composer locally. Next I want to learn how to use this new environment. This is what I have found out so far.

Note: This is my standard setup from 2020, a newer version from 2021 is now available Standard setup for PHP projects 2021. The focus of this post if to setup PHP and PhpStorm in a consistant way for each project, with coding standards, static analysis and tests.
