Blog post from JetBrains
PhpStorm 2026.2 introduces several enhancements focusing on AI integration, PHP and Laravel support, Git management, and overall productivity improvements. The release includes native support for more third-party AI providers, allowing agents to access IDE features and manage skills across projects. GitHub Copilot is now natively integrated, simplifying AI-based code completion and enhancing the coding experience. PhpStorm adds new PHP features like the #[FileReference] attribute for persistent file path references and support for PHP 8.5's pipe operator. Laravel developers benefit from a new tool window to manage projects and improved package support. The update also incorporates TypeScript 7 for faster performance, enhances Git worktree management, streamlines conflict resolution, and adds terminal improvements for file and image sharing. The database management experience is refined with a redesigned empty state, customizable query console names, and an adaptive color engine. Performance optimizations focus on reducing startup and indexing times, while Docker Compose integration sees improvements for easier configuration and monitoring.
