Eclipse PDT Autocomplete

I have tried for several days now to get autocomplete working.

I have a clean install of Eclipse PDT and another with plugins like aptana and subversion, but neither works with autocomplete.

What do I have to do to get autocomplete working? Do i need some shortcut for this? In Netbeans it is working without a shortcut...and this video looks like its working in eclipse too.

Thanks for any hints and help ;)

This worked for me

Right click on you project in the project Explorer » Configure » Add PHP support...

For me, when using PDT, when I begin to type a variable, I can do Ctrl-space and I get a list of matching defined variables in my code. I believe you can get the list automatically. If you go Window » Preferences, then find PHP in the left column. Expand PHP, expand Editor, and select Code Assist. I believe Auto Activation is the option to pop up the autocomplete automatically.

hint: check General > Editors > File Associations > .php (.phtml,...) if default editor is "PHP Editor"

I tried to follow the accepted answer with no use. Then I found answer to this question in another SO thread. Basically all you need to do is right click on the project and go to Configure > Add PHP support. If that option is grayed out then you already marked project as the PDT project.
