To cover such cases, PhpStorm 2018.2 introduces a new refactoring that allows moving an instance method to a parameter class or to a field class. But not all methods can be made static or moved across the class hierarchy. PhpStorm already has a lot of refactorings that help you to move a method: Pull Up/Push Down refactorings, Move Static Method in combination with the Make Static refactorings. This build delivers new features, bug fixes, and improvements for PHP and the Web, and includes the latest improvements in IntelliJ Platform.
