Create New PHP Project in Eclipse

Question

I want to create a new PHP Project in Eclipse but I found no PHP Project Option after clicking File > New >.

What should I do to create a new PHP Project in Eclipse Juno?

Answer 1

You need to install the PHP Development Tools package for Eclipse. From the link given:

In Eclipse, click Help -> Install New Software and work with *: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/3.5

Once you have installed the plugin, you should be able to create a PHP project.

Answer 2

Do you install PDT? See this: http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/

Answer 3

You probably are on Java Perspective, whre "new PHP project" item isn't contributed. Use File -> New -> Other (ctrl+n shortcut) and select php project from list.

Off course Eclipse PDT have to be installed.

Answer 4

At the time of this writing, June 2018, the URL to download the plugin is:
