    Second this. PHPStorm is the best IDE out there today. It's not a cluttered mess like Nusphere PHPed.

    I wish this covered other Jetbrains products. They're all pretty good.

  • Great timing, I let my renewal lapse just last week but at 50% off I'll sign up again, thanks OP.

    Been using Sublime 3 for years and quite happy with it
    Visual Studio Code is also catching up

    • I remember everyone using unregistered Sublime 2 about 5 years ago, then Atom and VSC took over.

      • Yea, I actually eventually bought the sublime license to get rid the unregister prompt
        but since VS code was available I have been progressively switching it over
        one of the good thing of VS code is the wide range of languages supported
        been it for various projects including go-lang, react js, php and even .net c#

      Sublime and VS Code are great editors in their own right, but I’ve found for developing PHP software (as opposed to basic websites), nothing holds a candle to PhpStorm. If you haven’t already, I’d highly recommend giving PhpStorm a trial (pretty sure there’s a free 30 day trial or similar on all their products).

      I also use Resharper in C# development, and it is a game changer - basically gives Visual Studio all the extra trimmings it’s missing.

  • Right in time.

    Now, 50% off MAMP would be great.

      Why not just install manually or use Docker?

      • Virtual hosts and different PHP versions set right away in MAMP interface.

        Please share if there's a recipe for that using Docker.

        • Not sure about a Docker recipe, but Homestead does it’s free.

          • @taghunter: Sweet, care to share a recipe for MAMP setup-equvalent with Homestead?

            I can see all the raw docs, but not worth learning all the devops if MAMP does it out of the box. Of course, YMMV.

              @bouncybear: I don't use MAMP so I can't tell you if it's literally identical?

              But Homestead builds from a simple YAML file, such as below. Add 192.168.10.10 mywebsite.local to your hosts file, run vagrant up and you're away (I run it on Windows now, used to run it on a Mac). For $0. And this runs a Linux VM so it's more "server like" than literally just running Apache on your Mac (which I assume is what MAMP does).

          Please share if there's a recipe for that using Docker.

          Yep, this is exactly why Docker is made for. Seperate containers per vhost and PHP version.

    Just a reminder that if you are a student (or teacher) you can get an educational license for free.

  • Thanks for this op! My subscription was due at the end of June (just in time for tax!).
    This is hands down the best IDE for PHP software, no contest. There are a lot of great general editors out there that are fantastic for general-purpose editing, some that have been mentioned (VS Code, particularly being free is a great one, Sublime, Atom), but in my opinion as a 10+ year developer, PhpStorm stands head and shoulders above the rest for complex OOP projects or any meaty software.

  • VS Code (Free) and Sublime (Paid) is good editor if others are looking for alternative.

  • Does anyone know if you can pay now and not activate it until you want to use it?

    • +1

      I don't know specifically, but I paid now and it automatically added it onto my current licence; so it kicks in June 30th, once my existing one runs out.

      Obviously don't take this as gospel, but I would imagine the answer is no; otherwise I could buy 10 licences and use them as I please over the next 10 years, for instance.

      It might be worth finding out if you can get a free trial and if the paid licence would kick in after that? But I'd assuming contacting JetBrains is probably the best bet. I've had numerous contact with them for support over the years and they've always been really friendly and helpful, so it might be worth asking.

  • For my hacky, procedural style, I really like Atom.
