Eclipse is an open source, java-based, extensible development platform. For its part, it is just a framework and a set of services for building the development environment through plug-in components. Fortunately, Eclipse comes with a standard set of plug-ins, including Java development, c++,c,php, PYTHON,JSP,UML, and many other programming languages. Here is an introduction to eclipse to join PHP plug-ins and support PHP:
1, run Eclipse, in the main interface to find help under the "Instal New Software." Then select "All Available Sites" in work with. Because to search, so need to wait patiently, finally:
2, select Web development-related software, in which to find PHP Development Tools (PDT) software. Tick, click Next.
