Deployment

Last modified: 08 October 2024

PhpStorm assumes that all development and testing is done on your computer, and then the code is deployed to a staging or production environment.

The reason to stick to this "local development — deployment" model lies in the way PhpStorm provides code completion, code inspections, code navigation, and other coding assistance features. All this functionality is based on the project files index which PhpStorm builds when the project is loaded and updates on the fly as you edit your code. Fast indexing and re-indexing of files can be ensured only for local files, that is, files that are stored on your hard disk and are accessible through the file system.

When you are done with development, you can deploy your local project files to the web server using PhpStorm.
