Surround with: ‘(expr)’ and ‘!(expr)’

This couple of actions can help you quickly surround expressions with braces or negate logical expressions.

Suppose you want to negate some expression. Select the expression using the ‘Select successively increasing code blocks’ action (‘Ctrl+W’ on Windows\Linux or ‘Cmd + W’ on Mac):

Invoke the ‘Surround With’ (‘Ctrl + Alt + T’ on Windows\Linux or ‘Cmd +Option + T’ on Mac) action and select ‘!(expr)’:

The cursor will be placed at the end of the expression:

Surround with: ‘if(expr){…}’ and ‘while(expr){…}’

You probably remember our blogpost about writing assignments with ‘Introduce Variable’ refactoring. This time we want to introduce you another hint in quick writing ‘if’ and ‘while’ statements.

Suppose you want to write the following ‘if’ statement:

Let’s start writing it using the ‘Surround With’ action. First of all, write the condition:

Select the condition:

Invoke the ‘Surround With’ action and select ‘if(expr){…}’:

Then start typing the ‘if’ statement body:

There are many little things in database and SQL area that got attention in PhpStorm 3.0 release but now I just want to highlight the major ones.

Data Sources view got a new look and now includes stored procedures both from DDL scripts and real databases. The existing SQL dialects support has been redesigned with two new dialects introduced: H2 and MS Transact-SQL. So the list of supported SQL languages now looks like this:

• MySQL 5.6
• PostgreSQL 9.0.5
• Oracle 11.2
• SQLite 3.7
• SQL Server 10.50
• Derby 10.8
• HSQLDB 2.2
• H2 1.3
• SQL-92

Featuring:

• Exact syntax as in docs
• Context-aware completion
• PL-extensions support

Database view:

• Includes stored procedures. Search for usages, navigate to, drag and drop to editor, etc.
• Working with large databases is now less painful. Tables and procedures are available the moment their names are loaded. Columns, procedure parameters and other information are loaded in background afterwards.
• If something is changed there’s no need to wait for the whole synchronization. Refresh only selected schemas, tables or procedures.

Database Console:

• Console now remembers its state so you won’t lose statements you have never run.
• If you do not want to switch editors back and forth you can run statements directly from an SQL file or any other place where SQL injection takes place: invoke “Run Query in Console” intention for the first time then use console “Execute” action shortcut as if you are in console.
• Transact-SQL batch execution mode (the toggle is hidden in the console properties dialog)
• Console editor now can be undocked and split as any other editor.

Sometime ago we announced integration with Xdebug profiler in PhpStorm 3.0. This time we want to introduce you integration with another popular CPU profiling extension for PHP – Zend Debugger.

The set of views which PhpStorm builds by analyzing a Zend Debugger profiler snapshot is the same as for the Xdebug profiler:

• ‘Execution Statistics’ – displays summary information about execution metrics for every called function/method.
• ‘Call Tree’ – displays the execution paths of the called functions.
• ‘Callees’ – same as ‘Call Tree’ but with the selected function as the root.
• ‘Callers’ – all the paths that can result in calling the selected function.

In order to start a profiling session you need to install and configure the Zend Debugger extension. If you have already configured Zend Debugger for debugging, use this configuration for profiling. Alternatively, follow the Zend Debugger installation guide.

Next, you need to enable Zend Debugger to start capturing profiling snapshots on the required web pages. Just like during a debugging session, you need special cookies set in your web browser. You can do it manually, but it would be handier to use our browser bookmarklets which will set all the necessary cookies for you.

Let’t start profiling with Zend Debugger and browser bookmarklets

1. Open IDE
2. Enable listening for incoming connections from Zend Debugger
   

   Listening for incoming connections enabled

3. Open browser and navigate to the web page you want to profile
4. Click the ‘zend Start Profiler’ bookmark
   

   'zend Start profiler' bookmarklet on the browser bookmarks toolbar

5. Refresh the page
6. Switch to the IDE and accept the incoming connection from Zend Debugger (this dialog will appear only once, if you have never accepted connections from this host before)
   

   'Incoming Connection From Zend Debugger' dialog

7. Let’s start hunting for bottlenecks in your code!
   

   Profiler snapshot opened in the PhpStorm

8. After you have finished your profiling session, click the ‘zend Stop profiler’bookmark to stop capturing profiling snapshots (it will remove the cookie which triggers profiling)
   

   'zend Stop profiler' bookmarklet on the browser bookmarks toolbar
