Download PhpStorm 2017.3.3

JetBrains releases several development environments, such as IntelliJ Idea targeting Java, CLion targeting C and C++, DataGrip targeting SQL and PhpStorm targeting PHP. PhpStorm supports php versions 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2. It offers on-the-fly error prevention, autocompletion, code refactoring and debugging, and also handles HTML, CSS, Coffee and JavaScript. For an overview of the possibilities, we refer to this page. To use PhpStorm is a license necessary, for business and home use you will have to pay for it, but when the software is used for education or non-commercial open source projects, the license is free. JetBrains has released PhpStorm 2017.3.3 with the following improvements:

PhpStorm 2017.3.3 has been released

PhpStorm 2017.3.3 build 173.4301.34 is now available! You can download it here, in JetBrains Toolbox App or if you have installed the previous PhpStorm 2017.3.2 or PhpStorm 2017.3.3 EAP build (173.4301.24), you should soon get a notification in the IDE about a patch update. This build delivers new features, bug fixes and improvements for PHP and the Web, and takes on the latest improvements in IntelliJ Platform.

REST Client: Auto-formatting of responses
In this build, we’ve implemented one of the new REST client’s most voted features: auto-formatting of request results. PhpStorm analyzes Content-Type and formats the response accordingly. If type detection has failed for some reason, you can still choose between JSON, HTML and XML formatting manually. To see the original response, you can select the View as Text formatting type.

Highlighting call site in case of pass-by-reference
PHP 7.3 may introduce “Explicit call-site pass-by-reference” (RFC) that will allow prepending of a call-site argument with &. This should help to understand the code and notice possible unexpected changes of a variable. It’s still a year till the 7.3 release, but why wait? In this build, we’ve extended parameter hints with pass-by-reference visualization that will help you find a function or a method call that has reference declaration in a parameter. The new parameter hints will be shown for all arguments that are actually passed by reference. Please share your feedback about the new feature!
