'''[[PHP]] Development Tools''' ('''PDT''') is a language IDE plugin for the [[Eclipse (software)|Eclipse platform]] and the [[open-source software|open-source]] project that develops it.

The project intends to encompass all tools necessary to develop PHP based software. It uses the existing Eclipse Web Tools Project to provide developers with PHP capabilities. All these phpPHP tools are easy to use and developers can speed up the development process by using these tools. Additional plugins are available as [[PDT Extensions]].

==Naming issues==

The PHP Development Tools project has had two names during its development. * It was initially named PHP Development Tools, then changed to PHP IDE, and reverted to PHP Development Tools on January 1, 2007.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/php-dev/msg00129.html |title=PHP IDE -> PDT |access-date=2007-05-22 |archive-date=2007-05-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070521112050/http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/php-dev/msg00129.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> Various documentation and reviews use either name.
