Highlight certain strings in file
Can't find it online, probably because I can't really explain my problem in decent words.
I simply want to mark a line of code where there is a var_dump for example. So when I start debugging or go to production I can quickly see if there are any var_dumps active in my code. When I follow a certain function I sometimes var_dump in 3 or 4 files and I might forget to delete one of those when I am done.
I know about control-F to find any string, but I want this one to be highlighted as default.
I mean to make it stand out from normal code ( like when you mark a line ), something like this: 
I doesn't have the be the whole line that is marked. If the code `var_dump()` can be highlighted I will be helped enough.
Thanks for the help

Hi there,
Install and use Php Inspections (EA Extended) plugin

Thanks for the answer, but I can't find it in the plugin browser.. Using PHPStorm 10, build #PS-143.381. Not sure if that helps..
( Also, I cannot just update, since we work in a big team and we need to be on the same version with all the colleagues. We would need a full team in the office at the same time as the Support Team for the Administration passwords to upgrade ). It's actually only done when we upgrade laptops every few years :p

All versions are mentioned there (under "Previous Updates" button). Unfortunately I do not see your 143.381 version there -- the 143.382 is the closest available.
If you are using PhpStorm 10, I'd suggest to update to the latest 10.0.4 build from https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/Previous+PhpStorm+Releases .
