Got a few problems while evaluating phpstorm Follow
I'm trying out the program the first time and I get errors and warnings that should not be there. because the page loads up just fine. I have screenshots. categories.php
Undefined variable '$connection'
Path 'inc/header.php' not found
Path 'inc/nav.php' not found
Path 'inc/footer.php' not found
are the ones I'm talking about
db.php screenshot the warrings are valid code.
header.php is valid too
Refactoring seems to be not working I provided a screenshot
and is there a way to fix a code typo automatically or to see how it should be spelled?
here is my project

Thanks for the example.
1) Path 'inc/header.php' not found. - That's a known issue, caused by the fact that there are multiple directories with the same name: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-2957
Try specifying includes using include __DIR__ . "path"; syntax:
2) Undefined constant 'DB_HOST' - that's because constants aren't defined anywhere in a project using traditional syntax (the one that static analyzer can understand).
You can suppress the warnings using the /** @noinspection PhpUndefinedConstantInspection */ annotation above the assignment.
3) header.php is valid too.
Shouldn't you use
instead of
? There's no css folder where header.php resides.
For the links warning you can use Alt+Enter menu to download links definitions:
4) Refactoring seems to be not working - That's because of p.1.
If you have include __DIR__ . "inc/header.php" and then invoke Refactor > Rename on a header.php in a project tool window with "search for references" enabled - it would also update the references in a code:
I tried that but got a 500 code
Could you please attach a screenshot of that error?
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-2957:
that link does not work
here's the error
The link posted by me is fixed now. Here it is again: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-2957.
As for 500 error: are you behind a proxy? Is there anything unusual in your network connection?
not behind a proxy and my internet works.
and this bug is 10 years old will it ever be fixed?
and I can't get these errors to go away
Is there a way to suppress errors or just 1 error without turning the error off in settings?
Sorry, can't provide any ETA on this bug. Unfortunately it has just 8 votes in 10 years and the "include"-style coding becomes less & less utilized nowadays - I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it.
> and I can't get these errors to go away
Try adding <!--suppress HtmlUnknownTarget --> below the <!DOCTYPE html> in the beginning of the file.
> not behind a proxy and my internet works.
No more ideas, sadly. We would need to look into logs. You can send them over to us via Help | Contact Support.
is there a way to suppress 1 error without turning the error off in settings?
and how to upload logs
1) Yes: place the cursor on an error, then hit Alt+Enter, then select a warning > right arrow > suppress for ...: https://i.gyazo.com/b126bf35e58028913a814213a7d80e5f.mp4
2) you can either attach them directly to a support ticket or upload via https://uploads.jetbrains.com/
that didn't work for me

where do I find the logs
Thanks for the video. Some errors/warnings are indeed can not be suppressed, like the one on the video: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-29374, https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-31857.
You can find logs using Help > Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data action, or Help > Show log in ...
will this issue not be fixed too? Do you ever fix small bugs? it's very annoying to not be able to at least suppress the bug! IMO it's very lazy of PHP storm
Probably... But worth noting: there are no votes or comments for both issues for the past couple of years. Secondly: the inspection is right here.
And for what it's worth our team fixed 158 issues/features starting the January 2021.
I don't know what you mean.
And I can't get live edit to work?
I tried just HTML file
and I started a debug session
Upload id: 2021_02_09_TJZ2Cj9EXTn5Sy5Z (file: 2021-02-09 15-10-57.mp4)
I have to still refresh the page to see changes.

live edit not working is a deal-breaker for me I can deal with the small things but this should work just like other IDEs I use
my logs for both problems

You are editing code in external js file, as far as I can see; unlike changes in embedded JavaScript, changes in 'external' (linked) JavaScript code don't cause immediate page reloading: new code is loaded to the browser instantly, but the results of the change will be visible only when you do something to trigger this new code. For example if you change the
onClickhandler and write new text inalert(), you will see the new text after the click without reloading the page. Same for functions triggered by timer, for example. But if the JS code is executed only on page load (and not on certain event), you have to manually reload the page to see the results - Live Edit doesn't force new code execution, it changes the code and not application state.when I make changes in the HTML file does not update too and I talking about HTML not JS? if I install live-server installed on the node.js in PHP Storm it works with external js files? are you telling me I have to have the JS embedded for it to work? that makes no sense when live-server can do it?
In your screencast, you are changing JavaScript code, not HTML.
If you have problems updating HTML code, please record a new video
>if I install live-server installed on the node.js in PHP Storm it works with external js files?
please could you clarify what live-server you refer to?
live-server is a plugin or package that runs in PHP storm terminal on node.js and it updates Js files, CSS Files, and HTML files after a save and updates the page. how can Live edit not do the same? I find that hard to believe.
Like Dreamweaver does it, VS code does it, Brackets does it, etc it's the standard nowadays?
here's the HTML video
Upload id: 2021_02_12_BVz2k4jaDiDRe1rd (files: 2021-02-12 10-58-00.mp4, 2021-02-12 11-03-50.mp4)
In your video (2021-02-12 10-58-00.mp4) the page that you are refreshing is not the one that is being debugged, it's a page opened on a built-in web server for previewing. And Live Edit is only active during a debug session. The one the debugger is attached to is served by your node.js server and has a different URL
>how can Live edit not do the same? I find that hard to believe.
Unlike live server, with Live Edit page updating is not done on the server end (so Live edit is not server-specific, it works regardless of the web server the application is hosted on); and the page is not reloaded, the code is hotswapped instead
I got the HTML, javascript to work now but I wish that external js files would update too is there a plugin for this? I need a way to suggest Ideas? or vote on other ideas.
how does this, tie in node.js why is it needed? from what I've seen editing JS files, don't update on node.js so what's the point of having node.js
>I wish that external js files would update too is there a plugin for this?
You can try hosting your app on web servers that support hot reloading. As I wrote, Live Edit doesn't update the application state, so only those changes in javascript that are triggered by event/timer are updated instantly, changes in code executed on page loading require refreshing
1. does xampp support it? does using it solve my problem?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. where do I go to submit suggestions / Bugs
1. AFAIK it doesn't support hot reloading out of the box, but you can try setting it up to use browsersync, for example - see https://codingreflections.com/browsersync-reload-localhost/
