PhpStorm adds Composer Dependency Manager

PhpStorm provides a rich and intelligent code editor for PHP with syntax highlighting, extended code formatting configuration, on-the-fly error checking, and smart code completion. PhpStorm is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for PHP developers, built on top of the IntelliJ IDEA platform. It inherits all the web-related functionality of IntelliJ IDEA for editing PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, XML, working with VCS and SQL.
