PhpStorm and expanded php definitions

Using code hinting, PHPStorm can show me quick function definitions; can it be configured to show me more detailed examples of the function's use?

Solution

  • You can place the cursor (text-cursor, not mouse-cursor) on any PHP function and press Shift + F1 (Menu: View -> External Documentation).

    That will open the detailed description incl. examples and user-comments (read: the PHP manual).
