'''[[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 PHP tools are easy to use and developers can speed up the development process by using these tools. Additional Pluginsplugins are available as [[PDT Extensions]].

==Naming issues==
