Eclipse<\/a> is a full-featured free and open source IDE developed by the Eclipse Foundation. It has been around since 2001. You can write anything from C\/C++ and Java to PHP, Python, HTML, JavaScript, Kotlin, and more in this IDE. <\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

Installation<\/h2>\n

The software is available from Fedora’s official repository. To install it, invoke: <\/p>\n

sudo dnf install eclipse<\/pre>\n
This will install the base IDE and Eclipse platform, which enables you to develop Java applications. In order to add PHP development support to the IDE, run this command: <\/p>\n
sudo dnf install eclipse-pdt<\/pre>\n
This will install PHP development tools like PHP project wizard, PHP server configurations, composer support, etc. <\/p>\n
Features<\/h2>\n
This IDE has many features that make PHP development easier. For example, it has a comprehensive project wizard (where you can configure many options for your new projects). It also has built-in features like composer support, debugging support, a browser,a terminal, and more. <\/p>\n
Sample project<\/h2>\n
Now that the IDE is installed, let’s create a simple PHP project. Go to File \u2192New \u2192 Project<\/em>. From the resulting dialog, select PHP project<\/em>. Enter a name for your project. There are some other options you might want to change, like changing the project’s default location, enabling JavaScript, and changing PHP version. See the following screenshot. <\/p>\n

You can click the Finish<\/em> button to create the project or press Next<\/em> to configure other options like adding include and build paths. You don’t need to change those in most cases. <\/p>\n
Once the project is created, right click on the project folder and select New \u2192 PHP File<\/em> to add a new PHP file to the project. For this tutorial I named it index.php<\/em>, the conventionally-recognized default file in every PHP project. <\/p>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n
Then add the your code to the new file. <\/p>\n
\"\"
Demo PHP code<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
In the example above, I used CSS, JavaScript, and PHP tags on the same page mainly to show that the IDE is capable of supporting all of them together. <\/p>\n
Once your page is ready, you can see the result output by moving the file to your web server document root or by creating a development PHP server in the project directory. <\/p>\n
Thanks to the built-in terminal in Eclipse, we can launch a PHP development server right from within the IDE. Simply click the terminal icon on the toolbar (\"Terminal) and click OK<\/em>. In the new terminal, change to the project directory and run the following command:<\/p>\n
php -S localhost:8080 -t . index.php <\/pre>\n
\"\"
Terminal output<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Now, open a browser and head over to http:\/\/localhost:8080. If everything has been done correctly per instructions and your code is error-free, you will see the output of your PHP script in the browser.<\/p>\n
