Useful settings:

2. Enable Settings > Editor > Inspections > PHP > Undefined symbols > Undefined variable > Search for variable's definition outside the current file for project (alternative: variables defined in included/required files are marked as undefined. Solved by adding global $x to top of file.)
3. set database per project folder or file in settings > Languages & Frameworks > SQL Resolution Scopes
4. open project selection instead of reopening last project in File > Settings > System Settings > uncheck “Reopen projects on startup”

Probably useful settings to disable:
- Settings > Editor > Inspections > JavaScript > Probable Bugs > Equality operator may cause type coercion
- Settings > Editor > Inspections > PHP > Composer
- Settings > Editor > Inspections > Proofreading > Typo
- Settings > Languages & Framework > Javascript > “JavaScript language version” to “EcmaScript 5.1”
- Settings > Appearance & Behaviour > System Settings > Updates > “Check IDE updates for” to “Stable Releases”
- Settings > Editor > Inspections > PHP > Undefined symbols > “Undefined variable” set “Search for variable's definition outside the current file”
- Code style → php → wrapping and braces → braces placement → in function declaration: end of line

To remove error message “Failed to push to [apps-repo] remote: bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)” on failed mercurial pushes, generate the en_US.UTF-8 locale on the systems:

sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8

Error: Unable to save settings: Failed to save settings. Please restart PhpStorm.
Solution: Could you please check that the radio button Settings | PHP | Composer | Execution actually has a value specified? And if it doesn't, please choose one and then check how it goes.
