Eclipse PHP editor suddenly broken

I'm using Eclipse, and after a restart, I suddenly can't open PHP files. When I try, I get a popup error box saying:

Error opening the editor.  (Time of error: [now])
Reason:
No editor descriptor for id org.eclipse.php.editor

Any advice for what's going on and how to fix it?

I would try to delete the hidden .metadata folder in your workspace directory. rename it and try to open eclipse again. it should create a new one. if still does not work, revert the changes.

When you update to the latest version of Eclipse, don't keep using the link to the old version. That causes problems.

Are you using the latest Eclipse? This seems like a bug from a couple of years ago, and has to do with a certain code within one of your PHP files.
