So, you mean to highlight all pieces of code that will not work with the PHP version you are writing it in, right? That can be done here:
Preferences -> Languages & Frameworks > PHP
and the same on Mac:
PhpStorm -> Preferences (⌘,) -> Languages & Frameworks > PHP
Or with newer versions of PhpStorm in Windows:
File -> Settings -> Languages & Frameworks > PHP
then select your PHP version, for example, 7.0
This is very useful when your local system runs PHP 7.0, for example, but production is running PHP 5.5.
That way PhpStorm will warn you which parts will not work in production, show proper hints during writing code according to the selected version, etc.

In case your field is disabled.
Probably your settings "Synchronize IDE settings with composer.json" is enabled
You may change your PHP version in composer.json file
"require": {
"php": ">=7.1.0",
}
OR disable your settings in this path
File -> Settings -> Languages & Frameworks > PHP > Composer
*If you change your composer.json file - As Félix Gagnon-Grenier commented, Keep in mind it has effects on the way packages will be required later
Hi everyone,
Recently I noticed that the PHP version selector that appeared in the lower right corner is not there anymore. I remember in previous versions that I had a selector where I could change the PHP version used in the project, but it seems like it's not there anymore
Any ideas on how to bring it back?
