# Moving PHP open source forward

**[JetBrains](https://daily.dev/sources/jetbrains)** · 3 min read · 32 upvotes · 3 comments

## Summary

JetBrains announces a new structured approach to PHP open-source sponsorships, committing to support approximately five projects annually. For 2025-2026, they're sponsoring developers working on Mago (a Rust-based PHP linter), PHPStan, Rector, AI/MCP exploration in PHP, and 3v4l.org. They continue supporting the PHP Foundation while transitioning away from sponsoring Xdebug and CodeSniffer to diversify their support across more projects over time.

> I really was expecting that they would create a community version of PhpStorm (like they already have for Java, C#, Rust, Javascript and Go)
