I’m working with MyEclipse for Spring 8.5 on a Win XP box. I want to work with php files and projects as well..

Following directions of previous posts, I uninstalled the IE Debugger and installed the PDT via Pulse. No errors. I restarted MyEclipse.

The problem is I can’t run, test, debug the php files. It doesn’t see the php server, I’m guessing. How do I get this part to work? When I run a php page, I get the “The webpage cannot be found” message. Is there a server install or configure step I am suppose to do?

In Window->Preferences the PHP section exists, data appears to be populated. The PHP Server is “Default” and http://localhost

I notice that when I test, debug, run Java apps that the server runs on http://localhost:8080 Does this have anything to do with it? I also notice when I run a Java app, Tomcat restarts, I can veiw startup messages on the console view. No such thing for php.

So I don’t know how to get php to run in order to test. Do I need to install a php server (and how) or is it something else?

luns,

I believe you will need an external PHP server installed besides the PDT plugins.

I notice that when I test, debug, run Java apps that the server runs on http://localhost:8080 Does this have anything to do with it? I also notice when I run a Java app, Tomcat restarts, I can veiw startup messages on the console view. No such thing for php. 

Correct, this is what MyEclipse provides for Java / J2EE applications but we do not for PHP servers. For this you will need to depend on the PDT.

I’m afraid I can’t help more because this would be PDT functionality you are looking for, not MyEclipse. There are some tutorials here that should help: http://wiki.eclipse.org/PDT/TUTORIALS
