Editor of PDT plugin jumbles the code and doesn’t take responses in. I tried many things but didn’t help at all. I was wondering what you guys are using to develop PHP applications for I am new to PHP. And I am a Java Programmer so I am more experience with Eclipse that is why I need to fix this issue.Below are few things I tried out

  1. Reinstall PDT Plugin
  2. Checked if Java editor works (it works perfectly)

I am out of solutions now and only think that I can think of is that Eclipse version is giving me trouble. I am using

Version: Indigo Release

Build id: 20110615-0604

OS : Ubuntu 11.04

PDT Version : PHP Development Tools (PDT) All-In-One SDK 3.0.0.v20110516-1100-77

I am going to include few screenshots too. The screenshots were taken when I clicked in different places of the screen. And sometimes what I type is not displaying at all. Another thing I want to mention is that I also have Aptana plugin installed and the PHP is not working properly in it too. So PDT plugin might not necessarily be the cause for it. Will removing Aptana for PHP help me?
Clicking around
Code jumbles up
Stuff disappears
I have asked this question on AskUbuntu at here I hope you don’t mind the cross posting…

    This probably is not be the answer you are looking for, but I never liked the PDT plugin (and Aptana stopped supporting their own PHP editor several years ago, which was far better.)

    For editing PHP, I switched to NetBeans. They have excellent PHP support, including refactoring, code completion with support for dynamic properties and methods, and more. Plus, you can simply download the PHP version of NetBeans and get started without much other configuration.

    (I’ve since switched to IntelliJ IDEA because I am developing Grails apps, but it is also really awesome for PHP. However, the JetBrains products are not free.)
