Creating your first php project.

The first step is to open a Vim window and create the project by executing:

        :ProjectCreate /path/to/my_project -n php
      

The path supplied will be the path to the root of your project. This path may or may not exist. If it does not exist it will be created for you. When the project is created two file will be added to the root directory of your project, .project and .projectOptions At this time, the .project file is nothing that you need to worry about maintaining as it is purely for Eclipse. The .projectOptions file on the other hand, is used to manage your project's dependencies, including dependencies on other projects and other libraries. For more on maintaining this file see the include path docs.

Once you've created your project you can use the :ProjectList command to list the available projects and you should see your newly created one in the list.

        my_project - open   - /path/to/my_project
      

The :ProjectList result is in the form of projectName - (open|closed) - /project/root/path. When you create projects, the last path element will be used for the project name. If that element contains any spaces, these will be converted to underscores.
