IDE development for CodeIgniter PHP framework in ECLIPSE

Question

I am quite new to the eclipse IDE. I want to develop an IDE for codeigniter PHP framework. How I start. What is difference between Eclipse for C++ and Eclipse for Jave EE?

How I get start? Any kind of help is appreciated. Thank you.

Solution

Since CodeIgniter is a PHP framework, you might favor using eclipse-pdt: http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project.php?id=tools.pdt

• Installation instructions: http://wiki.eclipse.org/PDT/Installation
• Downloads page: http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/downloads/
• Tutorials to help you get started: http://wiki.eclipse.org/PDT/TUTORIALS
