How to recover non-project file protection in PhpStorm? - php

This dialog appears when I try to edit non-project files.
I chose the 1st option, but I want to recover this protection. Restart didn't help.


Starting at some version, the IDE will no longer show this dialog for the recently edited files. You need to remove such a file from the recently edited files list to get back this popup for that file.
Sadly you cannot do this from the UI so you will have to edit the config files directly. This will be a bit tricky as it involves looking in 2 different places (config files) and editing one of them.
NOTE: this applies to the 1st option ("I want to edit this file anyway"). It may work completely differently for the 2nd option (directory exclusion most likely will be stored in a different place).
Do this while the project is CLOSED in the IDE (or even better, the whole IDE is closed).
Open this project settings folder, locate workspace.xml file and open it in your plain text editor, i.e. PROJECT_ROOT/.idea/workspace.xml.
Locate the component node with ProjectId name. You need the value of the id attribute.
<component name="ProjectId" id="1OVsD6SX2AzSazagHBXOTEBLIaW" />
We are now done with this file.
Go to your IDE-wide config folder. On Linux that would normally be ~/.config/JetBrains/PhpStorm2022.1 for the current PhpStorm 2022.1 version. For other OS: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/directories-used-by-the-ide-to-store-settings-caches-plugins-and-logs.html#config-directory
NOTE: if you have installed your IDE using JetBrains Toolbox App, the path might be different. You need to see idea.log file (Help | Show Log in XXX) for the used paths (they are printed at the start of each IDE launch session), although it should be possible to open such a folder right from the Toolbox App interface.
Locate the file named with the id value from step 2 in the workspace folder there. E.g. in my example that would be IDE_CONFIG/workspace/1OVsD6SX2AzSazagHBXOTEBLIaW.xml
This is the file with your local IDE workspace for this project that is not meant to be shared/synced (as it contains user/machine specific paths etc.)
Open that file in your plain text editor and locate the <component name="IdeDocumentHistory"> node.
You need to remove unwanted entries from the <changedPaths> sub-node. E.g.
<option value="$PROJECT_DIR$/vendor/doctrine/orm/lib/Doctrine/ORM/EntityManagerInterface" />
Save and exit. Launch the IDE and do your test.

How to quick search files in whole workspace (Visual Studio Code)

I have used ctrl+p to search my file in whole project but its not working. I am seaching 'Request.php' file which is used to get request. but I am unable to find this using 'ctrl+p'.
Although, ctrl+p finds my controllers and other stuff but it does not search files which are deep down in directory like :
Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request.php.
Is there ant short key to find these kind of files?

Go to VS Code Editor:
File-> Preferences-> Settings
User Settings file will be open.
Now, search key 'search.useIgnoreFiles' and set its value to 'False' by clicking on 'pencil icon'.
Now, Ctrl+p will search all files.

In VSCode, you can go to File > Preferences > Settings and search for the setting Use ignore files and clear the checkbox. This will enable VSCode to search for files in Vendor directory too.

How to use VSCode to remotely edit website files?

I need to be able to remotely log into web servers for my clients and edit code remotely. I mostly use this for CSS changes, but also am starting to play with PHP as well.
I have tried to get Remote-Editor to work but it won't pick up the .remote file that I placed in the /home folder. The instructions don't really give great details on setting this up.
What do I do?

Use FileZilla, then set VScode as default editor (edit->settings->file editing->filetype associations and insert "php /usr/bin/code"). okey, now u need select your file on FTP and press "View/Edit", then ur file open in VScode editor. Done:)

Use an FTP client (like FileZilla), then set VSCode as the default editor. Anytime you open a file, it will open it in VSCode. I highly recommend that you download all of the code to your own computer and use it as a dev environment, and then, when you're finished with your changes, backup your site, then upload the modified files together. It's not required to edit files on your own machine, but it is recommended if you ever need to revert to an old version for whatever reason (like you made a mistake in the code, and now nothing works right).
Alternatively, you can use an extension like FTP Sync to code locally, and have the files be automatically synced for you.

Open Filezilla -> Edit -> Settings -> File Editing -> Filetype associations
Now you will have "Custom filetype associations:" situated on the right pane of the window.
Over there you have to write the command for opening VSCode for PHP files.
Step 1: Search and locate the VSCode Exe file setup install directory on your computer. In my case it was (C:\Users\Shubham\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code/Code.exe)
Step 2: Copy the directory path link of the ".exe" file and come back to the "Custom filetype associations:" inside Filezilla.
Step 3: Now type "php" then give space & paste the directory path that you have copied inside double quotes and then again give space and write "-open". The final code should look something like this
php "C:\Users\Shubham\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code/Code.exe" -open
Step 4: Click the Okay Button and have a coffee.

There are several approaches to this that are all editor-agnostic.
First, there is sshfs, which is cross-platform and you can install via your OS package manager. A simple approach would be as following:
mkdir -p ~/mnt/server
sshfs user#server.example.com:/path/on/server ~/mnt/server
Afterwards, you have the complete folder structure from server.example.com locally available at ~/mnt/server. Make sure you set up SSH keys to avoid entering the user password every time. You can find tutorials on that everywhere on the net.
For servers that only offer FTP access (shared hosting and the like), you can use curlftpfs in the same fashion.
To close the connection, simply unmount:
umount ~/mnt
For a GUI-based approach, you have several options. There is Transmit (macOS), which features mounting connections as volumes, Forklift (macOS) which is a Finder replacement that can do the same, ExpanDrive (macOS/Windows) and my favorite Mountain Duck (macOS/Windows).
If you plan to move lots of data, especially a lot of small files, Mountain Duck performs the best in my experience.

Just type this is Filezilla Settings->File Editing-> File Association
php /snap/bin/code

Open Filezilla and go to Edit >> Settings
Click on File Editing, and set the radio button to use Custom Editor
In the text field below you need to enter the full path to Visual Studio Code, this is usually found in the /usr/bin/ directory, so you need to enter the following /usr/bin/code
Next select the radio button Always use default editor and click OK to finalise the settings.

Most of the answers I see are for Windows. If anyone wants to associate File Types using Linux in Filezilla, the path is a bit different.
htm /snap/bin/code --force-user-env --no-sandbox --unity-launch
html /snap/bin/code --force-user-env --no-sandbox --unity-launch
js /snap/bin/code --force-user-env --no-sandbox --unity-launch
php /snap/bin/code --force-user-env --no-sandbox --unity-launch
You do not need to use the extra flags, but they are being used in the Menu Shortcut, so I included them.

To set VS Code as default editor for all type of files in mac use below steps:-
Click on Edit menu
Then click on setting option
Then find out File Editing and click on it (Not on submenu(Filetype associations))
Click on custom editor and then browse in application or download and select VS Code. And also click on checkbox "Always use default editor" and then click ok.

open filezilla->edit->file editing->use custom editor->browse(find the visual code path)
for find visual code path->right click on the visual code and open location and paste that location to the browse menu and find the visual code short cut
after that press ok on filzilla it will work fine

It's important that you start Filezilla as an administrator. That was the reason why it wasn't working for me.

Open Filezilla -> Edit -> Settings -> File Editing -> Filetype associations then type:
php "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe" %f
Note: substitute <username> with your windows username
Bonus: php can be replace with any kind of file format. Just write file extension name on lowercase.

I used this registry update to set vscode as my default text file editor (copy & paste into update.reg, open regedit and import the file):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\text\shell\edit\command]
#=hex(2):22,00,25,00,55,00,53,00,45,00,52,00,50,00,52,00,4f,00,46,00,49,00,4c,\
00,45,00,25,00,5c,00,41,00,70,00,70,00,44,00,61,00,74,00,61,00,5c,00,4c,00,\
6f,00,63,00,61,00,6c,00,5c,00,50,00,72,00,6f,00,67,00,72,00,61,00,6d,00,73,\
00,5c,00,4d,00,69,00,63,00,72,00,6f,00,73,00,6f,00,66,00,74,00,20,00,56,00,\
53,00,20,00,43,00,6f,00,64,00,65,00,5c,00,43,00,6f,00,64,00,65,00,2e,00,65,\
00,78,00,65,00,22,00,20,00,25,00,31,00,00,00
After that the registry is updated as follows:
Of course you should not trust hex encoded registry updates you found in the internet. So copy 22,00 ... 00,00, remove all backslashes, linebreaks and whitespaces and convert through one of many hex to ascii online converters to verify the import:
After you made this change you can even edit text files with vscode through the "edit" context menu entry:

How to run php extencioned files in CMD (DOS)?

Is there a possibility to run a php file by using the cmd? So it will become much easier to see things without using any html codes in it.

Show Desktop.
Right Click My Computer shortcut in the desktop.
Click Properties.
You should see a section of control Panel - Control Panel\System and Security\System.
Click Advanced System Settings on the Left menu.
Click Enviornment Variables towards the bottom of the window.
Select PATH in the user variables list.
Append your PHP Path (C:\myfolder\php) to your PATH variable, separated from the already existing string by a semi colon.
Click OK
Open your "cmd"
Type PATH, press enter
Make sure that you see your PHP folder among the list.
That should work.
Note: Make sure that your PHP folder has the php.exe. It should have the file type CLI. If you do not have the php.exe, go ahead and check the installation guidelines at - http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.manual.php - and download the installation file from there.

NetBeans PHP run configuration: how can I omit the doc-root folder?

So I have this project in PHP where I have some include files next to the wwwroot (or doc-root) folder instead of under the wwwroot folder. I need however to run/debug this project. in the project properties I can select a index file (index.php) but it's under the doc-root folder, so the Project URL makes http://myprojectmachine/doc-root/index.php instead of ..://myprojectmachine/index.php. Manually typing in the index file doesn't work as NetBeans states the file isn't found. How can I overcome this in an elegant way?

I just had the same problem yesterday. You can select the correct document root by right-clicking on your project, selecting Properties and clicking the Browse button next to "Web root" in the Sources panel.

you can set the project URL when you create the project, which is the best time to do it if you think of it. It's the bottom option on the page where you choose the directory for the code.
Although, since you've already created it, you can easily change it in the project properties. I'm not 100% sure if this will work if you're doing it on your local machine; the only web-based projects I have open right now I'm working on through SFTP in NetBeans, but changing the settings to local web server, it shows the same option:
In the Projects pane, right-click on the project, and select Properties
Go to Run Configuration in the left-hand side of the window
You should see Project URL as the third option, here you set what you want as the root URL for the project. So you would simply have http://myprojectmachine/

Opening a local file in Eclipse from the web

Right now, when I notice a problem on a page on my PHP web site, I have to look at the URL, mentally deduce what file is responsible for displaying that page, then navigate the Eclipse PDT file tree to open that file. This is annoying and uses brain power that could have been applied to solving the issue instead.
I would like my PHP web site to display on every page a link that I could click to automatically open the correct file in Eclipse.
I can easily compute the complete absolute path for the file I need to open (for example, open C:/xampp/htdocs/controllers/Foo/Bar.php when visiting /foo/bar), and I can make sure that Eclipse is currently open with the correct project loaded, but I'm stuck on how I can have Firefox/Chrome/IE tell Eclipse to open that specific file.
Edit
I'm going along the way of a data: URI, by adding a link to my file that contains the name of the file, with an unusual MIME type.
<a href="data:link/php;base64,IkM6XHhhb[snip]GhwIgo=">
View controller
</a>
The base64-encoded content is the absolute path to the file on my computer. When I click the link, Firefox lets me bind the content type to a new application, so I chose a batch file I wrote myself:
for /f "delims=" %%i in (%1) do (
notepad.exe "%%i"
)
This works. Now, I would like the file to be opened in the already opened window of Eclipse. What do I have to replace notepad.exe with in the above batch?

[pathtoeclipse]\eclipsec.exe -name Eclipse --launcher.openFile [fullpathtoyourfilehere]
I am not sure if it works with Galileo (i am on Helios)
Further reading: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=4922 (it is a long, long story)

I've tried similar things in the past, but this isn't as easy as it should be. The end result was always that Firefox would need an extension to execute a local file (I never found one that would do the job), and IE won't do it at all any more (save, maybe, for some complicated proprietary VBScript/WScript).
I see two workarounds to do this:
A function that displays the file path on your page in a big fat dialog window, making it easy to copy and paste into the Windows + R "Execute" Dialog
Alternatively, registering a custom Protocol (e.g. eclipse://) in your operating system, and tying that protocol to Eclipse. This is a pretty great way actually, I haven't tried this yet but definitely will in the next project I need this. Mozillazine: Register protocol (see the .reg file example)

You get the local path with FILE.
Maybe you try something like this?
<?php
'127.0.0.1' == $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] and print __FILE__;
?>

Is integrating Eclipse with Xdebug an option? I've done this with TextMate so that generated error messages are clickable to take me to the correct line in the right file. (See this question for details).
