PHP 5.4 Interpreter for Eclipse PDT - php

So PHP 5.4 is released, but when will the interpreter come out for eclipse PDT to support the new syntax of PHP 5.4?
All I could find on the web so far is an old "Bug Report": https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=362672. It seems like I can't even sign up there to post a question on its status.
Is somebody working on it? Is there dev version for it publicly available? How long does it typically take for them to release a new interpreter after a new PHP version comes out?
The PHP 5.4 syntax has been announced quite some time ago. How come its still not supported in Eclipse (I am not complaining, just want to know where it is hanging)?

Yep there is an interpreter for PHP 5.4 although its seems buggy, static function click throughs dont work on my mac eclipse install and on my windows eclipse install no function click throughs work.
Give it a try
In your eclipse go to
Preferences -> PHP -> PHPInterpreter Then select PHP version to PHP 5.4
If it is not available then you will need to update your PDT
help -> Check for updates
I commented on the bug report you mentioned the other day before i realised there is an interpreter so you can sign up and comment your self go to...
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/
Seems to me the interpreter still needs some work though as would be nice to have better code assist with traits.

PDT versions >= 3.0.0 all support PHP 5.4, including trait support.
The current version, as of writing, is PDT 3.1.0, and 3.1.1 is available from the nightly developer builds update site:

How to Update php in Netbeans

I would like to update the versions of php available in Netbeans 7.1 (I know it is only for hints),
I have php 5.4 working in my pc, but in netbeans I have available only php5.3 and 5.2, I would like to have 5.4 too
https://prnt.sc/fqxyoo
*I can not update netbeans because from 7.2 to 8.x it crashes inmediatelly after starting, but that is another history, so I would like only how to add php5.4 in netbeans 7.1
Thanks
Check your php version with the help of phpinfo(). But netbeans does not bundle the php. Check in php download url and download what you want.

Where do I find a copy of Zend PHP Debugger for PHP 5.4?

I'm trying to find a copy of the Zend debugger for PHP 5.4.
I've followed the various tutorials on the web telling me to download the Studio Web Debugger from the zend website, but unfortunately it only contains the binaries for PHP 5.3 (and below). I can't seem to find any mention anywhere of the Zend Debugger for PHP 5.4 ... it seems like they no longer make it and instead want you to use their full Server product instead.
Amazingly, Zend, "The PHP Company", will sell you Zend Studio, but they will not package a 5.4 version of the Studio Debugger in the related download. I would think they could get an updated version out since 5.4 has been released for over a year...
In any event, a work around has been making the rounds on the Internets.
Here is a full set of instructions for a Debian based system.
It was based largely on this Zend Forum post...
http://forums.zend.com/viewtopic.php?t=47568&f=59#p148893
The gist is to lift a 5.4 debugger file from an old Zend Server download an use it instead.
Many thanks to the original posters.
I had the same problem - however recent versions of the debuggers for php 5.3.x and php 5.4.x are included in the free version of Zend Server, so you can install that, make a copy of the .dll or .so that you need, and then uninstall it.
I did this to get at a version of ZendDebugger.dll that would work with php 5.3 and Zend Studio 10, but there is a 5.4 version of Zend Server aswell.

Set PHP version in Netbeans 7 for non-project files

I'm editing a PHP file in Netbeans that is not part of a project. Although I have PHP 5.3 installed, Netbeans complains about my use of a lambda function: "Language feature not compatible with PHP version indicated in project settings".
Is there a way to tell Netbeans to think in 5.3 when I don't have project settings to edit?
I'm using Netbeans 7.0 with PHP 5.3.3 on Ubuntu.
UPDATE: The code is working, it's just the inspection that is borken.
Right click your project in the Projects tab, click Properties, then on the Sources tab, set the PHP Version. I'm using Netbeans 7.1.2
Go to File Menu of net beans and select project properties of the project and change the version of php from # PHP Version : PHP 5.6 or another.
This Error Showing for PHP version(language feature not compatible with php version indicated in project settings)
I recently did an update to my NetBeans (v7.0.1). I just tried creating a lambda fn and the IDE didn't show any warnings/errors. Try updating your NB.

Current method for using eclipse for java and php?

super easy question that i can't find the answer to on eclipse's website....
i have a new laptop and am installing eclipse on it. things seem to have a changed a bit since the 3.5 version i have on my current comp. i recall dloading eclipse just once, and then installing some plugins for stuff like php editing. but the new downloads page seems to have entirely different versions for the different languages:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
so will i need to do one install for java, one for php, one for anything else? or is the method the same as before?
thanks,
jonah
You can install different development platforms onto your base Eclipse installation. Go to Help > Install new software and then try typing in PDT into the Work with text field. You should see it autocomplete with http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/. If selecting it doesn't automatically populate the area below, try the Add button.
You should eventually see options for the PDT SDK that you can select to install.

Eclipse Helios and PDT - no PHP perspective available!

if I run my updated Eclipse Helios including PDT it will not show the options for the PHP perspective.
I run Eclipse under Windows 7 and Java 1.6.0_21. I tried to run the "-clean" option and already reinstalled PDT, but no success.
What could be the problem?
Thank you,
-lony
First, please check the Java build you are using. There's a reported issue with Windows 7 and Java 1.6.0_21 with builds prior to b07. See this message for more details and solutions.
If this is not the problem, look at the workspace log (Windows → Show View → Error Log) and see if there are any related errors. The errors could be related to the installation as well. If you find anything, add it to your question.
You might also want to download the prepackaged Eclipse PDT package from the eclipse.org site and see if it works OK on your machine.
