Install the PHP and Phing plugins

This functionality relies on the PHP and Phing plugins that should be installed and enabled in your IDE.

The plugins are available only in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate.

  1. Press CtrlAlt0S to open the IDE settings and select Plugins.

  2. Switch to the Marketplace tab and use the search field to find the PHP and Phing plugins.

  3. Click Install and restart the IDE if prompted.

The dialog opens when you click the Settings button properties.gif on the toolbar of the Phing Build tool window.

In this dialog:

Among the targets defined in a build file, you may have some that are only called by other targets and are never run alone. You can suppress showing such targets in the build file tree by marking them as hidden.

Hidden targets do not become visible when you expand the node of a specific build file or click Expand All button the Expand All button.

Hide

  • When this checkbox is cleared, the corresponding target is displayed in the tree view of the file.

You can mark a target as hidden both directly from the Phing Build tool window or from the Phing Settings dialog. However, the hidden status can be removed only through the Phing Settings dialog.
