I also like having the second IDE because most of todays projects have a front end and backend on two different services / serversĪnd adds full-fledged support for PHP and Databases/SQL. PHPstorm obviously has more system and environment languages available, but Webstorm is better suited for java/angular/typescript/etc projects. The layout and functionality of the two platforms are a bit different to where each specializes in its own area to make programming in the specific language that much faster/easier. You can add almost all of the 'Web' functionality that WebStorm has to PHPstorm but it is not installed by default and often created by third parties. Instead it uses the cryptic loosely written statement 'PhpStorm includes all the functionality of WebStorm' and doesn't specify details, which makes that statements intention appear more as a marketing tactic than a fact.

The response I got back said that they are totally different products and 'we can't just let customers move from product to product to product'.

I used the contact form, giving them info on my existing Webstorm license, and saying that I wanted to upgrade to PhpStorm. I came to these forums and saw discussions about upgrading from Webstorm to Phpstorm, with the same information stated here (use the contact form). I already had a license for Webstorm, then a couple of months later found that I needed PHP also. 'But if you don't need PHP functionality of PhpStorm, you can contact our sales guys and ask to downgrade PhpStorm license to WebStorm and get a refund: '
