Getting Started with Eclipse PHP Development Tools (PDT)

"Are you ready to take a step beyond writing code in a text editor like UltraEdit, BBEdit, or TextMate? Would you like to see those PHP and JavaScript syntax errors in the editor, without transferring files to the server or opening a browser? If so, then you're ready to jump into the world of the IDE — Integrated Development Environment. I'll compare the free, open source Eclipse IDE to a few of its commercial competitors Then we'll go through the steps to install Eclipse PDT All-In-One, the Zend Debugger, JSEclipse, and Subclipse."

Set Up Eclipse PDT 2.0 On Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede)

This is a howto about setting up a proffessional PHP IDE using Eclipse by hand. I'll be using Eclipse PDT for PHP support. The PDT project provides a PHP Development Tools framework for the Eclipse platform. This project encompasses all development components necessary to develop PHP and facilitate extensibility. It leverages the existing Web Tools Project in providing developers with PHP capabilities. We will have in the end features like subversion support, edit remote files, database development, debugging and more.
