How to install a PHP IDE plugin for Eclipse directly from the Eclipse environment?

I have a clean Eclipse Java SDK. I would like to make it suitable for developing PHP applications. So I need a PHP IDE plugin (or something like that). How could I install it from the Eclipse environment?

Updated for 2019: As previously suggested, in the latest Eclipse, go to "Install New Software" in the Help Menu and click the "add" button with this URL http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/latest/ that should show the latest release of PHP Development Tools (PDT). You might need to search for "php" or "pdt". For Nightly releases you can use http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/latest-nightly/.

Easy as pie:

Open Eclipse and go to Help-> Software Updates-> Find and Install Select "Search for new features to install" and click "Next" Create a New Remote Site with the following details:

Name: PDT

URL: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/4.0.1

Get the latest above mentioned URLfrom -

http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/index.html#download

Check the PDT box and click "Next" to start the installation

Hope it helps

Eclipse for PHP Developers Package

Looking for the Eclipse for PHP Developers Package?

Due to lack of a package maintainer for the Indigo release there will be no PHP (PDT) package. If you would like to install PDT into your Eclipse installtion you can do so by using the Install New Software feature from the Help Menu and installing the PHP Development Tools (PDT) SDK Feature from the Eclipse Indigo Repo >> http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo

Text grabbed from page: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/php_package.php

The best solution would be to go to http://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.pdt/downloads where you will find the URL to the most updated PDT, as most of the URLS listed above are hitting a 404. Then pasting the URL to eclipse.

To install PDT (PHP Development Tools) for PHP development environment is better in Eclipse. The following are the steps to install PDT in Eclipse (I'm considering version 3.7 (Indigo)):

Open Eclipse (in my case Eclipse Indigo).
Go to Help --> Install New Software...
Expand the "Work with" drop down and select "Indigo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo".
Expand "Programming Languages" from the list.
Check PHP Development Tools (PDT) SDK Feature.
Click "Next >" at the bottom and follow the further instruction of Eclipse.
After successful installation of PDT: Go to Window --> Preferences and see the list as PHP at left panel.

The new URL for the repository is now http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/release. In Eclipse: open Help -> install new sofware -> add. Then paste this URL in the location.

Mark the check boxes you want and click next.
