Can you turn a folder of PHP files into a netbeans project?

I have a folder with several subdirectories containing PHP files. At the moment I open each file individually in Netbeans. However, I would like to open this folder as a project, so I can use features like searching for a line throughout the entire project. Is this possible in Netbeans? What would be the best way to achieve this?

Go in Netbeans. Select Files->New Project. A window will open, in that select PHP in Categories. Click Next. In Project Name give the name of your project(as seen in netbeans), in Sources Folder select the path to your project and click Next. In Run Configuration Make the settings according to your requirement to run the project. Now in PHP Frameworks Select ypur desired framework or just leave it blank and click FINISH.
You will See your project in Netbeans now.

When you add any directory in netbeans as a project, it add its only directory under the project directory. So if you need to add the numbers of directory in netbeans being a project, then i would like to suggest firstly to collect all directory in parent directory. then add it as a project. Here is an explaination:- directory- dir lets you have dir1, dir2, dir3, dir4. and according to you mentioned above all dir are projects. You have to create a dirA and all dir1, dir2, dir3,and dir4 are subdirectory of dirA. so the folder under dirA nbprojects(created by netbeans) will take care of all directories being the subdirectory of dirA.

Go to file->New Project and select PHP in category and follow the instruction. In Source folder you need to choose your files folder so that it get listed.

Create a new project, set sources directory to the one you have with current files (might want to back up the files before if anything goes wrong).
