Eclipse for PHP Developers Package

Looking for the Eclipse for PHP Developers Package?

Due to lack of a package maintainer for the Indigo release there will be no PHP (PDT) package. If you would like to install PDT into your Eclipse installtion you can do so by using the Install New Software feature from the Help Menu and installing the PHP Development Tools (PDT) SDK Feature from the Eclipse Indigo Repo >> http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo

Answer 2

The new URL for the repository is now http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/release. In Eclipse: open Help -> install new sofware -> add. Then paste this URL in the location.

Mark the check boxes you want and click next.
