13 May 2008 Learn how to build Web services in PHP using the PHP Development Tools plug-in
in Eclipse Europa. Become familiar with the PDT project, and learn how to create and
deploy useful PHP projects, learn about the philosophy behind contract-first
development, and understand the basic parts that make up a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file.
In this tutorial
This tutorial shows how to build Web services in PHP using the PHP Development Tools
(PDT) plug-in. The PDT project was unveiled in September 2007 and
was followed by V1.0.2 in January 2008. The PDT project provides first-class abilities
to edit, debug, and deploy PHP applications in the Eclipse IDE.
Prerequisites
You should have experience with PHP development.
System requirements
To get the most out of this tutorial, you need to install Eclipse Europa and the PDT plug-in. You must also
install the Eclipse Web
Standard Tools (WST) subproject. Note: If you installed the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) bundle
of Eclipse, you already have WST. To follow the examples, you need Eclipse Europa and one of the
operating systems that Eclipse supports — Mac OS X, Microsoft®
Windows®, or Linux®. You also need a Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) — at least JRE for Java V5 is recommended.
