I am using phpstorm 7.0 for development and was used to upload files via right-mouse button and then choose {upload}.
My newest project runs on Symfony and Doctrine so I had to configure some things in phpstorm for that.
But now, the manual upload function is gone and I am unable to find a way to get it back. This was very handy for minor changes that had to be uploaded fast for testing.
I have searched Google and went through every setting-option in phpstorm but I cannot find the way to restore the manual upload setting.
I hope I made my problem clear..
Do you have mappings defined (Settings/Deployment/Mappings)? You won't be able to download/upload anything if mappings are not set or set incorrectly.
Certain actions in Tools | Deployment may also be disabled when no tabs with mapped files were open, so there are no files to upload

first of all I explain the reason why I try to do it.
I tried many editors/IDEs which could provide convenient syntax and variables check. Eclipse did the best.
But it works correctly only if I work with its project, otherwise there are a lot of glitches and no correct support of syntax suggestion/auto-complete.
I set my FTP client to download files into project's folder, but Eclipse does not recognize them as a part of this project so I still don't have it's full support. If I create PHP files with Eclipse in the same folder it works just fine. Is there a way to make read all PHP files in project folder as parts of a project?
Or, if you can suggest IDE which performs syntax check/auto-complete tasks as Eclipse does please do, I check if I tried it. I can't include all CMS into project, because it is Bitrix, it can kill any IDE which can try to chew it, so I just need a reliable tool which could work as code validation of currently edited script. The perfect tool could just be set for PHP 5.6/7.1 for example and perform validation based on language rules.
If you are trying to get Eclipse php support for randomly downloaded files you can set your FTP client to download that files in project's folder. Then you open Project Explorer in Eclipse, press refresh button to get actual folders/files list, find you file in there and open it by that project explorer. That makes Eclipse to consider that file as a part of your project so auto-complete and validation works fine. Other ways of opening it does not count.
I'm trying out PHPStorm by Jetbrains at the moment, which I think is an awesome IDE.
The only complain I have is that Im always in fear that I will overwrite changes other people made.
I'm currently working on a project without Git, just pure FTP. If I start PHPstorm, the first thing I have to do is synchronize my local files manually using the "Compare with local version..." dialog, which takes a lot of time at bigger projects.
Is it possible that PhpStorm behaves like Eclipse Remote Explorer?
It would be awesome if PhpStorm would check the file I just opened for a newer version on my default remote and replaces it automatically.
In the Tools > Deployment > Options dialog, you will see the following option:
Changing these options will allow you to customize how your uploads are pushed and when you're warned about overwriting changes
I'm trying to add a SWFUpload instance to my website where multiple files will be uploaded in a queue. Currently, I'm working in a local LAMP environment running Netbeans and XDebug for my server side work.
I've followed the directions at the site and used this blog post to fill in the blanks.
My issue is that the test uploads execute according to the debug output of SWFUpload, but nothing shows in the upload path. In debug mode, none of the breakpoints in my server side script get touched.
I've triple-checked the file paths.
File permissions are all set to 755
This also occurs when I copied two of the demos to my server instance. In both circumstances, the upload_url php file breakpoints never got touched.
How can I debug this?
EDIT
I'm switching to a HTML5 method instead. however, it would be nice to identify some possible solutions to this issue for others who may run into the same problem.
I noticed a strange sync problem. I have my project setup as a remote project and everything works fine. I have it set to upload on save. However, if someone on my server is working on a file and saves it. I don't see this change in netbeans and I end up opening a older version of the file and overwriting my colleague's changes when I press save.
Is there a way to have netbeans check the remote server for the latest file before saving?
thanks
No, NetBeans can not check the remote file automatically. It's just not set up to do that. Even if it were, you would still run into problems where you would clobber your colleague's changes, or he would clobber yours.
What you have is a basic version control problem, which is best solved by implementing one of the several version control systems out there (e.g., CVS, Subversion, Git, Mercurial, etc.) and then "building" your website out to the server from version control. Short of that, an imperfect solution would be to partition the files such that you are forbidden to edit files assigned to your colleague, and vice-versa.
NetBeans can download the file for you, but only when you tell it to by right-clicking on the file and choosing the Download command. This downloads the file whether it has been updated by someone else or not.
I'm looking for an editor that can read and write remote PHP files via sFTP. I'm talking about not having a local copy of my PHP files.
But here is the tricky part : I'd like that editor to be aware of all the files in my projet, and provide me with intellisense-like auto-completion, classes structures, etc...Just like Eclipse PDT, Aptana and NetBeans do, but with the "remote project storage and awareness" feature.
Do you know about any editor with these features ?
Thanks !
Edit : I'm absolutely not working on my production server, but on a development server. It's mostly because I need to works under windows on my desktop PC and don't want host my projects locally for various compatibility and tools availability reasons, and use linux as a server OS.
May not be a good idea:
Warnings:
1) Disconnect:
What if you are coding and your connection gets lost, you may get a corrupted file or loose some work. Disconnects occur much more often that power loss in your home/office, and you can safeguard by using a small UPC - that will give a minute to save your work.
2) SCM:
Use git, mercurial, svn or what have you, to speed up deployment. Increases ability to share code, backup and roll backs.
3) Auto completion will not work very well over network connection, because ( at least in NetBeans) it scans your project to figure out what you want to auto-complete. It takes a few seconds even on a local machine.
Solution:
If after all of the above you still want to do it, you can trick your editor by mounting remote storage as a local drive. You didn't specify your OS but on Mac and Linux - you can easily do it - take a look at Fuse. http://fuse.sourceforge.net/
Khmm apperatnly there was an attempt to port Fuse to Windows:

Hope that helps
Update
There are also a few commercial products - one was recommended by macworld I think ( they are both for Mac and Windows)

On Windows the Zeus editor can do seamless ftp/sftp editing.
These remote ftp files can also be defined to belong to a project/workspace.
But the Zeus PHP intellisensing will only work for local files.
You can use NetBeans for this, you will have your project saved locally but you can set to upload the file anytime when you save that file. Right click on your project, Properties, Run Configuration, Run As: Remote website. Click on Remote Connection: ... Manage and add your FTP account. Don't forget to set Upload files: to On Save. I have had no problem with this configuration and I am working for one year with NetBeans.
For quick editing I am using PSPad.
I don't think this is something that actually exists. Mainly because intellisense and class structures rely on being able to parse your complete project. Doing this over FTP would take way to long to actually be of any practical use.
You might be able to find an editor that will automatically upload any change you make locally though.
I'd second the comments about not working directly on your live environment.
As you've mentioned Eclipse / Aptana - perhaps consider using something like Git or SVN, with a post-commit hook to immediately publish to your live environment each time you commit. That way you reduce the risk by being able to easily roll back any changes that break your live server.
You can use Eclipse (with suitable git/svn plugin) to check out your entire site direct from the repository, and have all the code completion goodness you need. "Saving" is then just a case of committing your changes back to the repository, which would automatically update your server thanks to the post-commit hook.
It's still not ideal, and very risky to develop on a live server, but if you really have no preview environment, then this is perhaps slightly safer than simply working directly through ftp.
I'm curious why you'd need to not keep a local copy - yet you've said the project seems quite small - perhaps taking another approach to the problem would be safer?
