@princeverdad - i would speak with your professor again as @shez1983 said you are talking about very different things.
An IDE is your editor to write your application, the compiler takes your high level code and turns is into low-level opcode.
You also would not want to develop on android app. It's hard enough writing a forum post let alone writing a full application on a phone/tablet

I'm guessing the OP wants to build their own IDE that can also compile the project (i.e. has built-in support for a compiler), like many IDE's do. A "Laravel IDE", however, would just be an IDE for PHP with some Laravel code intel and snippets. Also, since PHP is an interpreted language (as opposed to a compiled language like Java or C++), having a compiler doesn't really make sense.
