From Eclipsepedia

The PDT project provides a PHP Development Tools framework for the Eclipse platform. This project encompasses all development components necessary to develop PHP and facilitate extensibility. It leverages the existing Web Tools Project in providing developers with PHP capabilities.

The purpose of the Wiki page is to provide additional information on top of the information from the official website with easy accessibility and editing.

Getting PDT

There are several ways to get PDT - the most common one is to download the classic IDE from the Eclipse.org download site and then adding the PDT component from the "Help > Install new Software..." menu.

Here's a list of alternative (probably outdated) installation methods: PDT/Installation
