Overview

This app allows to use phpstorm:// protocol to open a file in a PhpStorm IDE the same way as it's done in TextMate, (section 21.2).

NOTE: Built-in idea:// and phpstorm:// protocols are supported in PhpStorm 8 EAP 138.190+ according to this comment.

Following string must be specified as an editor in your app:

phpstorm://open?url=file://%f&line=%l

The Windows version also supports opening a directory as project and files without specified line.

Alternative syntax is supported for cross-platform compatibility with PhPStorm 8+ (Mac version)

phpstorm://open?file=%f&line=%l

If something doesn't work, then feel free to submit an issue on GitHub.

Installing on Linux

A package for Arch Linux (Arch, Manjaro, Antergos, etc.) is available from the AUR. If you're using other Linux distribution then follow these instructions:

1. clone https://github.com/sanduhrs/phpstorm-url-handler repository
2. go to cloned folder
3. read installation instructions in README.md
4. delete cloned folder

Installing on Mac

Please follow instructions from the this page if the PhpStorm Protocol.app won't work as expected on your OS X version. PhpStorm 8+ (Mac version only) has built-in url handler and phpstorm://open?file=%f&line=%l url needs to be used instead (see https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-65879).

1. clone this repository

Installing on Windows

1. clone this repository
2. go to cloned folder
3. copy folder PhpStorm Protocol (Win) to C:\Program Files\ folder
4. double click on C:\Program Files\PhpStorm Protocol (Win)\run_editor.reg file
5. agree to whatever Registry Editor asks you
6. (only, when not using JetBrains ToolBox) update settings at C:\Program Files\PhpStorm Protocol (Win)\run_editor.js file, because each PhpStorm version is installed into it's own sub-folder!

   run_editor.js:

   // Set to folder name, where PhpStorm was installed to (e.g. 'PhpStorm')
   folder_name: '<phpstorm_folder_name>',
   
   // Set to window title (only text after dash sign), that you see, when switching to running PhpStorm instance
   window_title: '<phpstorm_window_title>',
   

   updated run_editor.js

   // Set to folder name, where PhpStorm was installed to (e.g. 'PhpStorm')
   folder_name: 'PhpStorm 2017.1.4',
   
   // Set to window title (only text after dash sign), that you see, when switching to running PhpStorm instance
   window_title: 'PhpStorm 2017.1.4',
   

7. delete cloned folder

Working under another path?

You can make use of the [project alias settings](/PhpStorm Protocol (Win)/run_editor.js#L11-L14) in case you are working under a network share or Vagrant.
