Searching for a good PHP, webdev IDE... Suggestions?
Ideally free software with debugging and code syntax checks.

    I have to edit an composer package which displays a website primarily in PHP. Ideally the IDE would set up a local server using XAMPP or so...

    Have made the jump to vsCode with intellsense for php running a local copy of PHP7 so it can do it’s work.

    Works extremely well and syntax checks every file in the project rather then the file you are using. Scared me when it found a missing ; in a old file that hasn’t been used in a year.

    You can use the community edition of IDEA, but I don't know if that version supports PHP

    I use phpstorm and it's awesome, not free unfortunately though :(

    @Darkovernerd it's easy to find a fake validation server though

    Can pay? Buy phpstorm.

    Broke but want IDE? Use netbeans.

    Editors also fine but don't wanna setup? VS code or atom.

    I'm none of the the above so I happily use sublime without buying since v1.

    Phpstorm you can get it for free if you are a student but it's really amazing. Or just get the 30 day free trial

    @iamroot Not anymore. But that reminds me I have to try something out.... Maybe they excluded the domain already.... Do they only auth through an email which has to be read behind an .edu domain?

    @iamroot okay, they blacklisted cet.edu (understandable)... I have no chance to get phpstorm, but VScode looks like it's usable.
