o Create a project from current resources - Create a project that contains source files outside the workspace directory. Click Browse to select an existing file.
o Create a project on the local server - Create a project on the local zend server. This option is only available if zend server has been installed.
4. Click Finish.
A new PHP project will be created in your workspace and displayed in the PHP Explorer view. See Creating PHP Projects for more information.

When eclipse for php creates a new php project, after entering the php project name and clicking "next", the creation steps cannot be completed.

The specific method is: open help => install new softwear in the menu bar. In the install new software dialog box, work with select a site to download the software. Mine is: Galileo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases /galileo, wait a few seconds, the software for installation will be refreshed, select "PHP Development Tools (PDT) SDK Feature 2.1.2.v20090826-1027-7L7979F8NcJKhKRU19TmWA" and "PHP Development Tools (PDT) SDK Feature 2.1.1 .v20090707-1108-51384QACJCQDWeNNmUTdPJewhS9O" Install these two softwares. After the installation is complete, restart and there should be no problem. 10:37 | Add a comment | Permalink | Write to the blog | php September 6th
