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)

Configuration

Heap space (memory allocated by JVM)size depends on system memory capacity

▹ Xms, Xmx

▹ XXMaxPermSize, XXPermSize

Eclipse PDT settings▹ disable code folding▹ formatting / linebreaks▹ validation / build settings▹ disable automatic updates

Views & Perspectives

Views or Tabs(Window > Show View)

▹ Viewport providing specific information and/or functionality

Perspective(Window > Open Perspektive)

▹ Arrangement of Views:PHP Perspektive contains e.g. 'PHP Explorer', 'Outline' and 'Project Outline'

Views & Perspectives (II)

Projects

Organizational untis Customizeable

configuration PHP include path

▹ Validation▹ Build rules▹ ...

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}, ${class_container}▹ ${function}, ${function_container}▹ ${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 mysql_connect_db(); } }

class docuHint { /** * @var docuDb Database handling */ private $dbHandler = NULL;

private function connectToDB() { $this->dbHandler = &new docuDb(); $dbh = $this->dbHandler->connect(); } }

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)

Display in favorits menu

Standard input & output

xDebug

Debugging for PHP by Derick Rethans(http://www.xdebug.org)

Provides profiling, tracing, code coverage, … Cross platform

xDebug configuration

Add to php.ini (e.g. on Mac)

or .htaccess - file

[XDebug] ;; Only Zend OR (!) XDebug zend_extension="/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/lib/php/php5/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/xdebug.so" xdebug.remote_enable=true xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1 ;if debugging on remote server, put client IP here xdebug.remote_port=9000 xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp ;; profiler xdebug.profiler_enable=Off xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger=On xdebug.profiler_output_dir=/data_lokal/temp/xdebug/profiling
