Using VIM as PHP IDE

I use Vim for all text editing, even software development. At one point I stopped using IDEs. One major reason is that Vim can do all the major things I need from IDEs (tabs, file trees, greping, syntax highlighting, indentation, completion, "quickfix"ing, etc).

And guess what?

It's super faster, productive and just amazing ;)

Install vim-plug Plugin Manager

You can use any plugins manager, I prefere vim-plug

curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

Install all plugins with 2 commands

then make HMagdyVimrc as your main .vimrc then insall all plugins needed by

cp HMagdyVimrc ~/.vimrc

After that you can install all of them

:PlugInstall

Now It's Done;

only what you can do now.. learn more about vim (in below link) and installed plugins (in HMagdyVimrc):
