Hello from JetBrains,

PhpStorm 2023.1, our first major update of the year, is now available.

Check out the What’s New in PhpStorm 2023.1 page to learn the details or watch this video for a general overview.

Here’s a quick roundup of the main improvements:

• New UI
  The redesigned UI has been polished and includes new features like Compact Mode. It’s disabled by default, so you can opt in to try it out.

• 3v4l.org integration
  This new integration lets you run PHP scratch files on any PHP version without having to install the files.

• Performance improvements
  This includes shared indexes, access to many actions during indexing, and faster inspections and highlighting.

• Data flow analysis in the debugger
  When debugging PHP code with Xdebug, values in the conditions are now highlighted, and code branches that are unreachable at runtime are dimmed out.

• Multiple quality-of-life enhancements for PHP projects
  Support for all Psalm and PHPStan tags and multi-composer.json projects, as well as improvements for PHP generics.

PhpStorm 2023.1 also improves the IDE’s Docker integration, support for web technologies and Git, and much more.

Happy developing!
