Installation
Download latest revision from Eclipse website(http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/downloads)▹ All in one (recommended):
provides everything you need to run PDT▹ PDT Feature / Update Manager:
extends an existing Eclipse, but all dependencies PDT relies on needs to be installed first.
Extract archive Copy to favorized location
(e.g. /usr/local/bin/ or another location in your application path)
Views & Perspectives
Perspective(Window > Open Perspektive)
▹ Arrangement of Views:PHP Perspektive contains e.g. 'PHP Explorer', 'Outline' and 'Project Outline'
Views or Tabs(Window > Show View)
▹ Viewport providing specific information and/or functionality
Views & Perspectives (II)
Projects
Organizational untis Customizable configuration PHP include path
▹ Validation Build rules
▹ included resources▹ excluded resources
Templates
Contextual predefined code snippets
Configure at Preferences > PHP > Templates
Code templates
Activation key:<CTRL> + space
Code templates▹ Eases typing of complex code structures
(e.g. switch – statement)▹ Minimize errors▹ Act like a form
switch ($action) { case 'read': ; break;
default: ; break; }
Code templates (II)
Capable of code completion Set cursor positioning (${cursor}, ${}) Dynamic content by use of variables▹ ${class}▹ ${function}▹ ${variable}▹ ${value}
switch (${dollar}${variable}) { case ${value}: ${cursor}; break;
default: ; break; }
File templates
File templates▹ Create new files with
standardized structures
▹ Easy to create or adapt
Code completion (Code Assist)
Configuration via Preferences > PHP > Editor > Code Assist
Code completion (II)(Code Assist)
Activation key<CTRL> + space
Completes▹ PHP functions▹ Classes & functions▹ Constants▹ Code templates
Evolves with every plugin supporting this feature (e.g. JSEclipse)
Code completion (III)(Code Assist)
Code completion (IV)(Code Assist)
Documentation hint▪ declaring the name of a class to be instantiated as the
type of the 'local' class var will enable Eclipse to resolve the methods of the instantiated class:
class docuDb {
private function connect() { return $this->dbHandler->connect(); } }
class docuHint { /** * @var docuDb Database handling */ private $dbHandler = NULL;
private function connectToDB() { $this->dbHandler = &new docuDb(); $dbh = $this->dbHandler->connect(); } }
What's new in PDT 2.0? Less dependencies Improved indexing and caching▹ cleanup of unnecessary depedencies to Java
Mark occurrences Configurable Buildpathes Improved code completion
▹ Camelcase matching
What's new in PDT 2.0? (II)
Enhanced features to support OOP in PHP▹ Overwrite Indicators
What's new in PDT 2.0? (III)
Enhanced features to support OOP in PHP▹ Type & name

External Tools Framework Enables Eclipse to run ,stand-alone'
applications Two broad classes of external tools are
available:▹ Ant build files▹ Everything else
External Tools Framework (II)
External Tools Framework (III)
LoactionLinux / Mac OsX: points to the phpDocumentor installation
Windows: points to the PHP executable
Working directorydirectory to store temporary data
ArgumentsLinux/ Mac OsX: command line parameters to be passed to phpDocumentor.
Windows: path to the phpDocumentor installation and command line parameters(e.g.: "D:\xampp\php\phpdoc" -c "${project_loc}/doc/tech/config/phpdoc.ini")
External Tools Framework (III)

Tips and Tricks (Configuration)
Heap space (memory allocated by JVM)size depends on system memory capacity▹ Xms, Xmx▹ XXMaxPermSize, XXPermSize
Eclipse PDT settings▹ validation / build settings▹ disable automatic updates▹ disable code folding
