Creating a PHP Project

A PHP project contains source code and related files for maintaining a PHP Application. They can be organized in one of two different ways:

• Using the project as the source container.

• Using source folders inside the project as the source container.

To create a project:

1. Click the create New icon [] on the main menu bar or click File > New PHP Project. The New Project wizard will open.

2. Select PHP Project and click Next. The PHP project Creation dialog will appear.

3. Enter a name for your new project. By default, the project will map to an existing directory structure in the file system (displayed dimmed, in the Directory field). To create the project and its resources in a different location, clear the Use default checkbox and enter the new location in the Directory field).

4. If you want the new project to be dependent on one or more other projects, click Next. The Project Include screen will appear.

3. Select the Projects to be referenced, the Libraries and the Path order entries (each on its own tab).

4. Click Finish. The new project will be created and listed in the navigation views.
