PhpStorm URL Handler

This package contains a launcher to open files in PhpStorm at the defined line number and an associated desktop file that conforms to the Desktop Entry Specification for use in Gnome and KDE desktop environments.

Installation

The executable phpstorm or pstorm must be in your $PATH. If it is not, either add the install location to your path

export PATH="/path/to/phpstorm/bin/phpstorm.sh:$PATH"

or symlink it to one of /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin - which already should be in your $PATH. Use sudo if needed

ln -s /path/to/phpstorm/bin/phpstorm.sh /usr/bin/phpstorm

Then copy the actual handler to your $PATH and make it executable. Use sudo if needed

cp phpstorm-url-handler /usr/bin/phpstorm-url-handler
chmod +x /usr/bin/phpstorm-url-handler

Install the .desktop file to register the mime-types. Use sudo if needed

desktop-file-install phpstorm-url-handler.desktop
update-desktop-database

Usage

It can be used to open files at the specified line from within the browser by placing a link of the following kind in the markup:

<?php
$file = "/path/to/filename.php";
$line = 35;
print "<a href='phpstorm://open?url=file://$file&line=$line'>Open with PhpStorm</a>";
// Alternate Syntax to match PhpStorm 8 for the Macintosh
print "<a href='phpstorm://open?file=$file&line=$line'>Open with PhpStorm</a>";
?>

Command-line usage

FILE="/path/to/filename.php"
LINE=35
./phpstorm-url-handler "phpstorm://open?url=file://${FILE}&line=${LINE}"

This alternative syntax matches the format used by PhpStorm 8 for the Macintosh for cross-platform compatibility.

FILE="/path/to/filename.php"
LINE=35
./phpstorm-url-handler "phpstorm://open?file=${FILE}&line=${LINE}"
