What’s New in PhpStorm 2021.3
PhpStorm 2021.3 is a major update that introduces support for the recently released PHP 8.1, better handling of generics in PHP, and enhancements for deployment, HTTP client, and VCS integration.
PHP 8.1
A new version of the interpreter has just been released! Check out the video from Brent Roose and community members for an overview of all the new language features.
Enums
One of the most highly anticipated features of PHP 8.1 is enums.
Support for enums was introduced in PhpStorm 2021.2, offering code suggestions and validation to protect you from using them incorrectly.
An enum in PHP contains a set of cases, can have methods, and can be used as a type hint. In all of these cases, PhpStorm provides error highlighting and proper suggestions to save you time.
Readonly properties
Readonly properties are the properties that cannot be changed after initialization, that is, after a value is assigned to them.
PhpStorm 2021.3 will help you make use of readonly properties in your code and make sure they are used correctly.
A dedicated inspection will check that a readonly property is initialized only in the same scope where it’s declared, either the property declaration itself or in a class method.
Since readonly properties must always be typed, PhpStorm will check if the type declaration is specified.
A readonly property cannot have a default value, but you can initialize it in the constructor as a promoted property, so PhpStorm provides a quick-fix for this.
`new` operator in initializers
In PHP 8.1, you can use new expressions when initializing default parameters’ values, static variables, global constants, and attribute arguments.
PhpStorm will verify such usages and highlight invalid cases such as providing a new object as a class constant or property.
First-class callables
Pure intersection types
PHP 8.1 brings intersection types, whose value must satisfy multiple type constraints instead of just a single one.
PhpStorm will now provide code completion for these constructs and check that an intersection type is not combined with a union type. And if you have an intersection type specified as a PHPDoc annotation, PhpStorm will interpret it correctly, too.
New return type: `never`
Final constants
In PHP 8.1 you can declare final class constants so that they cannot be overridden in child classes, and PhpStorm will verify such cases.
Deprecations
In addition to new features, PHP 8.1 brings several deprecations aimed at making the language more consistent and easier to use. PhpStorm will help you locate such deprecated code. Here are a couple of examples:
Deprecated usage of Serializable interfaces
Restricted GLOBALS usage
Generics for PHP
PHP does not provide support for generics on a language level yet, but using them via annotations has already become quite popular. They make code safer and more predictable when working with collections, containers, factories, and other applications. PhpStorm 2021.3 expands the support for generics via the @template annotation.
Improved support for Doctrine Collections
PhpStorm brings support for the IteratorAggregate interface and iterating over Doctrine Collections now works out of the box.
Support for Laravel collections
In the upcoming Laravel release, the illuminate/collections package will support generics annotations. PhpStorm 2021.3 provides better code completion for such collections.
Inferring generic types from constructor
If there is a generic @template parameter in a constructor and you want to specify the type by passing an object as an argument, PhpStorm will now infer the correct type and provide code completion.
Refactorings
Move classes via drag and drop
Earlier, to move a class and update its namespace, your only option was to use the move refactoring ( F6 ) in the code editor. In PhpStorm 2021.3, you can use drag and drop in the Project view instead. This way, the project structure would be visible during operation. And what’s more, you can move several classes or entire folders using this technique, and PhpStorm will correctly update all the references.
Inline function or method
The Inline method refactoring lets you replace the calls to the method with the method’s content and delete the method itself. In PhpStorm 2021.3, the refactoring received multiple improvements and will cover even more cases. For example, non-static methods, method chains, and arrow/anonymous functions passed as parameters are now supported.
Inline variable
The Inline variable refactoring lets you replace the references to a variable with the actual variable’s value. In PhpStorm 2021.3, this refactoring supports inlining NOWDOC/HEREDOC variables and includes several usability enhancements.
Deployment
Support for rsync
When using an SFTP server for deployment, you can enable rsync for uploading and downloading files and folders, which will significantly increase transfer speeds. The corresponding Use rsync for download/upload option is located in the Advanced section of the deployment server configuration.
The path to the rsync executable can be configured under Settings/Preferences | Tools | Rsync. For macOS and Linux, it should be available right away. For Windows, it is recommended to use Cygwin and OpenSSH.
Retransmit files that failed to upload
PhpStorm 2021.3 lets you retransmit the files that failed to upload. In such cases, click the Retry link in the File Transfer tool window.
Proxy support for SSH connections
You can now specify an HTTP or SOCKS proxy server for your SSH configuration under Settings/Preferences | Tools | SSH Configurations.
It’s also possible to use the global IDE-wide proxy. To do this, enable the Use global IDE proxy settings checkbox and provide the proxy details under Settings/Preferences | Appearance & Behavior | System Settings | HTTP Proxy.
Quickly switch default server for project
PhpStorm 2021.3 provides a new status bar widget that shows the current default server. When you need to deal with multiple environments, you can switch between them right from there without going to the settings.
HTTP Client
Binary responses in the HTTP client
The HTTP client now supports binary responses. If a received response is an image, you will see its preview right in the response console.
Output redirection to custom file or directory
The HTTP client can now redirect output to a custom file or directory. It supports two operators for force and soft redirects:
In addition to providing explicit file paths, you can now use new predefined variables: {{$projectRoot}} points to the project root folder and {{$historyFolder}} points to the requests history folder.
Support for HTTP request identifiers
In PhpStorm 2021.3, your HTTP requests can be named! You can provide an identifier as a comment with @name as well as text in the requests separator ( ### ).
You can then invoke a request by its name via the Services tool window, from the Run Configuration, Run Anything, or Search Everywhere dialogs.
User Experience
New Bookmarks tool window
Source preview for Show Usages
Align Changes Highlighting
We’ve added the new Align Changes Highlighting option to the Diff screen settings that can be found under the gear icon. This feature makes the Diff easier to read, especially when there are complex modifications, because it aligns the unchanged lines so that they are displayed next to each other. This helps you see the code that has been added or removed more clearly.
Checkout and Rebase onto Current for remote branches
The Checkout and Rebase onto Current action lets you check out the selected branch and rebase it on top of a branch that is currently checked out. This was only possible for local branches before, but in PhpStorm 2021.3, this action can be applied to remote branches as well.
New ‘Push All up to Here’ action
If you have several commits that are ready to be shipped while others are still work in progress, then you may want to push only the ones you are sure about. PhpStorm 2021.3 will let you push commits up to the one you have selected in the Log tab of the Git tool window. Select the necessary commit, right-click it and use the new Push All up to Here action.
Reorganized VCS settings
The Version Control page in Settings/Preferences has been streamlined for better usability and now lists all of the available settings. The Git node is now divided into sections that account for the most important processes: Commit, Push, and Update. A separate node for Directory mappings has been added. Since the background operations are now switched on by default, the Background node has been removed.
How to download and use PhpStorm for free legally
The are a lot of free and open-source integrated development environments for PHP language. For example, you can use for free tools like Komodo, Eclipse PDT, NetBeans IDE, Atom.
Those are great, but there are also paid products that provide additional features. One of the best IDE for PHP is PhpStrom by JetBrains.
What is EAP?
EAP is Early Access Program. This is a special beta–testing program by JetBrains for developers, who want to try new features before they appear in release version of the software.
Here is the description I took at official EAP page of PhpStorm:
«At JetBrains, we believe that to make great tools for developers, we should listen to and involve developers. Our Early Access Program (EAP) lets our development community participate in the product discussions and influence development planning, from the very early stages.»
«This is an early access version of the product. You expressly acknowledge that this version of the product may not be reliable, may not work as intended and may contain errors. Any use of the EAP product is at your own risk.»
What are the differences compared to original paid version?
There are a few key differences compared to paid version:
30 days to continue use PhpStorm for free.
As you can see, there are some advantages & disadvantages, but you get brilliant IDE for PHP for free and absolutely legally.
Where to download EAP version of PhpStorm?
Just use this link to download the latest EAP version of PhpStorm for any platform (Windows, macOS, Linux):
On the same page you will find the list of changes of current EAP version + list and links for previous releases.
To download the installation file for a different platform you need to click on the arrow button and select your operational system. Then you can click on Download. After installing the icon of the PhpStorm will contain an EAP yellow label.

And many more. Here is the full list of JetBrains products. Just add /nextversion/ to the end of certain product page to get EAP version download link. Some products may need a license to download even the EAP version. In this case, you will have an option to download the community edition, which is also free (but with limited features).
PhpStorm 2021.2 Early Access Program Is Open
Today we’re starting the Early Access Program (EAP) for PhpStorm 2021.2.
You can get the first EAP build via the Toolbox App, download it from our website, use a snap package (for Ubuntu), or from inside PhpStorm, select Automatically check updates for Early Access Program under Preferences / Settings | Appearance & Behavior | System Settings | Updates.
If you’re not familiar with our EAP, here’s a quick recap.
Along with the build, every week we will publish a post with a story about new features and changes. Follow us on Twitter @phpstorm and be the first to get each new post.
Occasionally, a video outlining the most recent features appears on our YouTube channel, so subscribe to stay posted.
With that said, let’s take a look at the first portion of the updates in the upcoming 2021.2 release.
PHP 8.1
The new version of the interpreter is expected to be released in late November. As is our tradition, we will start rolling out support for new features early. One of the most significant and expected features will, of course, be enums.
If you don’t want to miss what else is planned for PHP 8.1, sign up for our PHP Annotated newsletter with a roundup of news from the PHP world.
Enums
Declare a new enum using the keywords enum and case. PhpStorm will, of course, help you with autocompletion and let you know if anything doesn’t follow the language syntax.
Declared enums can be used as type declarations in parameters, return values, and class properties. PhpStorm will check the type and highlight violations in the editor window.
You can quickly create new cases with a quick-fix. Type case usage as if it existed, then press Alt+Enter on it and choose Add enum case.
Backed Enums
By default, enumerated cases are simple singleton objects. But if you want to save them to a database or similar data store, then you can define scalar values for cases.
Enums with scalar equivalents for cases are called backed enums.
If you define a standard enum (unit enum) and then decide to make it a backed one, PhpStorm will have a quick-fix to add a type of the whole enum. Press Alt+Enter on the highlighted case value and choose the option to add `: type` to the declaration.
Did you know you can call enum Enum? That’s because it’s defined as a context keyword and not a reserved word on its own. So it should not collide with any existing userland implementations of enums that you might have.
That’s all for enums so far. Let us know if you have any ideas on how to make the support better.
Formatter improvements
For a long time, PhpStorm has had some quirks with formatting. While it worked fine most of the time, it could be very annoying in some fringe cases.
In PhpStorm 2021.2 we decided to fix all outstanding issues with formatting so that you always get what you expect!
All code style options are available under Settings/Preferences | Editor | Code Style | PHP.
Because of the formatting issues, some PhpStorm features could be somewhat unusable sometimes. Now they can become real timesavers.
One example would be splitting lists into separate lines and, vice versa, merging them into one. In arrays, argument list, or parameter list, press Alt+Enter and select Split comma-separated values into multiple lines:
When using multiple lines for lists, you can choose how to align items. For example, for parameters with type declarations, you can make them more readable by aligning types and names in columns:
If you come across formatting problems that we missed, please report them to our issue tracker!
Other for PHP
Support for dirname levels
PhpStorm used to lose path completion when this second parameter was used. Now it works as expected.
Search Everywhere Ignores Imports
Following your reports on problems with the Search Everywhere dialog, we’ve made some improvements to it. Specifically, symbols from the vendor directory will have low priority on the All tab and will not show up on the Symbols tab.
PhpStorm inherits many improvements from the IntelliJ Platform with every release. Here are the ones that will make it into 2021.2.
Browser pages reload on save
As you may know, PhpStorm lets you preview HTML and PHP files in a browser using the built-in web server.
To try this new feature, open an HTML or PHP file, hover over the code, and click on the icon for the browser you want to use (all browsers are supported). You can also preview the file in a browser by going to View | Open in Browser in the main menu.
Reloading on save is turned on by default. To tweak the settings for it or to turn it off, go to the Built-in Server section in Preferences / Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Debugger. When you use the feature for the first time, you’ll also see a popup with a link to the same settings.
The new feature may sound similar to the Live Edit feature that PhpStom has had for some time already. But the key difference is that Live Edit does not use the built-in IDE server and is more advanced. With the new feature, we wanted to provide a more straightforward experience and make the reloading process more predictable and available in all browsers.
Improvements for the Preferences / Settings dialog
There’s now a new node with advanced settings in your Preferences / Settings dialog. This node contains some additional configuration options. Most of them were transferred from the Registry. They weren’t used often but were still helpful for some users, so we wanted to make those options easier to access. You’ll also find some new configuration options there, such as the ability to set a left margin in Distraction-free mode.
In the future, we plan to move some of the rarely used options that are currently available under the regular settings to this new node.
Additionally, you can now navigate back and forth between open sections in your Preferences / Settings dialog. To do so, use the arrows in the right-hand corner of the window.
Automatic cache and logs cleanup
Previously, PhpStorm’s logs and cache files could take up a considerable amount of hard drive space over time.
Now, after each major update, your IDE will automatically clean up any cache and log directories that were last updated more than 180 days ago. The system settings and plugins directories will stay intact.
Or if you want to trigger this process manually, go to Help | Delete Leftover IDE Directories… in the main menu.
To learn more about the directories used by the IDE and their locations, check out this article.
The full list of changes in this build is available in the release notes.
