在所有文件中搜索并替换 PhpStorm 中的上下文操作

Question

After upgrading a project to PHP8, I'd like to refactor my code to use the new features, eg. replacing

if (strpos($link, 'somestring') === false) {

with

if (!str_contains($link, 'somestring')) {

PhpStorm offers a context menu for this action which is great. It also means that PhpStorm can detect these constructs.

But: Is there a possibility to replace all occurrences automatically, maybe in combination with the "Replace in files" menu? Of course a regex would also do the job, but a full automatic process would be more comfortable.

Answer 1

1. Find which inspection is this. For this:

   • Place caret on the highlighted part (on strpos in this case)
   • Invoke Intentions/Quick Fix menu ( Alt + Enter on most keymaps or via light bulb icon using a mouse)
   • Expand the most appropriate option ( Arrow Right )
   • Select "Edit inspection profile settings" -- it will take you to that inspection so you can clearly see its name and check what is does ( although in this particular case it is not really necessary as the name is already shown on the first screenshot; but in other cases it can have different text there ).

2. Run that particular inspection.

   • Use Code | Analyze Code | Run Inspection by Name... Code | Analyze Code | Run Inspection by Name... Code | Analyze Code | Run Inspection by Name... ( Ctrl + Alt + Shift + I here on Windows keymap).
   • Locate that inspection there
   • Run it on a desired scope (eg a folder/custom scope/whole project etc)

3. The "Problems" toolwindow will be activated and will list all places where this inspection is triggered. You can do the batch fix here (on a file scope, not all occurrences at once though -- not all quick fixes have "fix all found occurrences at once" option).

   

PS You can skip some steps (1.4, 2.1 & 2.2) by simply selecting Run inspection on... on the first screenshot if you know for sure that it is the right inspection.

Another approach / option -- use Rector that can do quite a few of such upgrades in automated way. It can be integrated with PhpStorm as of 2022.2 version (and you can always run it from a command line).
