I currently use Komodo and work directly off a remote server. I have just discovered phpstorm and I want to start giving this a go.
My question is, how can I work off a remote server like in Komodo? I really couldn't understand how to do it!

As @LazyOne commented, it's not possible right now. You can vote for the related feature request.
PhpStorm (as of 7.1) does not support working directly on a remote server.
You should vote for the feature here as @CrazyCoder mentioned.
You can use a SSHFS mount to work directly on files on a remote server. It isn't ideal, but I found it works ok.
I use the follow command and settings (on a mac).
To mount:
sshfs -o IdentityFile=~/.ssh/id_rsa root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/ ~/sshfs_mounts/example -oauto_cache,reconnect,defer_permissions,noappledouble,volname=example
To unmount:
umount ~/sshfs_mounts/example

phpstorm has two very useful features to work with remote servers.
It is correct as mentioned, phpstorm needs the local copies of the code aswell.
