Installing PHP Eclipse

From ALSwiki

Install PHP Eclipse

Download and install Eclipse PDT All-In-One. Project page: http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/

The download page is here: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/downloads/

• Unzip and move the "eclipse" folder to Program Files.
• Create a shortcut and add it to your start menu.
• Start it up. It will ask for a workspace location. The default is probably fine.

I already had EasyEclipse Server Java installed. PHP Eclipse started up with no problems. I did give it a separate workspace location to avoid mixing Java projects with PHP projects.

I'm not sure why this actually worked. Tried to access the Macromedia site directly -- It's moved to Adobe. Was able to download the zip file by logging in, just in case I need to re-install.
