PDT or PHPEclipse?

So far I've been using the PHPEclipse plugin for developing with Eclipse. I
recently found out that there's another plugin called PHP Developer Tools (PDT),
which I'm about to try out.

Does anyone have experience with both and have a recommendation?

I used PHPEclipse for 1.5 years but 3 months ago i tested PDT and i'll
stay at PDT.

The main reason why i switched to PDT is that PDT feels a little bit
more stable and smoother. Abother reason are the better debugging with
the Zend Debugger, much better smart help, better outline and a outline
for your complete project showing all your constants, function and
classes of your project.

Missing features are the local highlight if you mark a variable of the
current page, some warnings like "variable may not initialized" and the
smarty template engine support.

Hi, I have successfully installed PHPEclipse plugin and I have integrated it with DBG debugger. I'm able to start a debug session, set breakpoints and view variables contents. The only bad thing is that I can't see which line is being currently processed: is it possible to have PHPEclipse displaying or highlighting the line number that is currently executing? Thank you

After installing PHPEclipse, I can no longer open php files in the browser - I simply get a white page - no errors. The funny thing is that php files CAN be opened in the embedded browser that is contained within the Eclipse IDE. I'd really appreciate any help you all can offer on this; I'm out of ideas. Thanks, Michael McDonnell

hi all, debugging PHP applications interactively is possible, easy and free. I am talking about PHPEclipse and using it for debugging over several scripts or debugging through a session. Since I have wasted a lot of time writing echo statements all over the code in order to confirm program flow and watch variables, I feel I must share this with others who will be facing similar problems. PHPEclispe users can go to Step 5 directly....

Hi, I have troubles using PHPeclipse on only one workstation: On my laptop it works fine, perfect. On my other workstation: When I made an double click on the navigator on the left hand side, then an new eclipse instance will start. I say "no" in the opening message box what is asking for an new workspace, then the file is now in the edit-main-window. But not always. Sometimes. Irritating.
