Download PhpStorm 2020.2.1

JetBrains releases several development environments, such as IntelliJ Idea targeting Java, CLion targeting C and C++, DataGrip targeting SQL and PhpStorm targeting PHP. PhpStorm offers on-the-fly error prevention, autocompletion, code refactoring, and debugging, and can also handle HTML, CSS, Coffee, and JavaScript. For an overview of the possibilities, we refer to this page. To use PhpStorm is a license required.
