     Getting started with PHP in Eclipse IDE

Doe's anyone know a tool / IDE / plugin in Eclipse for PHP development?

I already try the ZEND PDT but it seems that it has a bug and it doesn't install in my eclipse. I even follow this workaround in installing it but it still doesn't work.

My Eclipse verions is 4.1.2, OS is in Windows XP SP3.

The previous questions doesn't seems to have a solid answer. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Pardon a possibly dumb question, but why are you using Eclipse 4.1.2? I suspect that the problem is with a bug in the 3.x compatibility layer in that version.

Unless you have a real need to be using 4.1.2 (and since it was a beta, I'm not sure what that would be...), perhaps try again with 3.7.2, which is the version currently listed on the Eclipse download page[1].

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

Another very good IDE to devolpe in PHP is NetBeans:

Answer 3

I know you specifically asked for an Eclipse plugin, but let me take the liberty of recommending a non-Eclipse PHP IDE, because it's really good and deserves a mention here: PhpStorm from JetBrains.

If you're very keen on Eclipse, Aptana Studio is a good IDE based on the Eclipse code base.
