Views support editors and provide alternative presentations as well as ways to navigate the information in the IDE. The Navigator and PHP Explorer views display projects and other resources that you are working with.
Each View has its own menus. To open the menu for a view, click the icon at the left end of the view's title bar (). Some views also have their own toolbars. The actions represented by buttons on view toolbars only affect the items within that view.
A view might appear by itself, or stacked with other views in a tabbed notebook. You can change the layout of a perspective by opening and closing views and by docking them in different positions in the Workbench window
PHP Views (e.g., PHP Project Outline, PHP Explorer, PHP Functions, Working Sets) display specifically related to PHP projects (e.g., PHP classes, functions, variables, constants, etc.).
