Hello all

I just started using Aptana Studio. The first thing I did was import my php from svn repository and install the PDT tools. But whenever I open the php file, it always displays following message.

alt text

I had the PHP perspective open when I tried opening the file. Also I checked the Content Types and File Associations, where PHP Content Type has *.php listed and *.php had the PHP Editor associated with it in the file associations.

I even tried creating a new PHP project, then creating a new PHP file - couldn't even do that - nothing showed up.

What am I missing over here?

I recommend Netbeans, its free too - http://www.netbeans.com/. Like any new program, there is some learning of what's what, but you certainly won't have this sort of confusion, its an awesome IDE too, please have a look.

I know about NetBeans, I used it for an year or so. I jumped to Eclipse while developing Java/Flex for the sake of keeping a single IDE for all my projects and now I'm testing Aptana, since it has great support for JS libraries. Going back to NetBeans is not an option now. I might take a look into PHPStorm though.

Fyi, Aptana 2.0 is actually Eclipse PDT, anyway good luck to you.

@doingsitups - I know that and can easily install aptana plugin into the eclipse PDT, but as I said in one of my comments `I wanted to keep my dev envrironment clean`. Anyway, I have already moved on to trying PHPStorm. Love it till now.
