Add Content Root

Click this button and select a new content root folder in the dialog that opens.

Remove Content Entry

Click this button to have the selected root removed from the list.

Tests

Click this button to mark the selected folder as a test root.

Sources

Click this button to mark the selected folder as the root for namespaces used in your project.

Based on this setting, PhpStorm suggests the proper folder name when you want to create a new namespace under another parent namespace during creation or moving of a PHP class, that is, when you are actually creating or moving a PHP class to a non-existing namespace under another parent namespace. If no Sources folder is specified, you will have to type the proper folder manually.

Excluded

Click this button to mark the selected folder as excluded so PhpStorm ignores it during indexing, parsing, and code completion.

Resource Root

Click this button to enable PhpStorm to complete relative paths to resources under the selected folder.

Exclude files

In the Exclude files field, type the masks that define the names of files and folders to be excluded, for example, *.min.js or lib. Use semicolons as separators.

• If the name of a file matches any of these patterns, the file is treated as excluded.

• If the name of a folder matches a pattern, all the files in this folder and in its subfolders are excluded.
