I have successfully upgraded my MyEclipse to 2024.1.0 and PDT (PHP Development Tools) to 8.0.0.

Unfortunately, I no longer have PHP code color syntax (see screen copy attached).

What do I need to do to get it back?

Eric,

I believe you will need a more recent PDT version – 8.0.0 was released around a year ago and probably won’t work too well with Eclipse 2024-03. I see version 8.3 that’s compatible with this version of MyEclipse, can you update / install this?

Hi Brian, I have installed PDT 8.3 but so far this has no impact, see attached screen copy.

Maybe I need to reset some settings somewhere, which have been lost during the migration to MyEclipse 2024?

I also created a new PHP project. Same issue, no syntax highlighting.

Eric,

We’ve been able to reproduce this locally and are actively investigating; will let you know as soon as we find something and have a fix/workaround.

Appreciate your patience!

Thanks Brian, keep me updated, meanwhile I will use Notepad++ for PHP.

Eric,

The issue was caused by a change in how Eclipse manages content types. We thought we had covered these changes, but had not tested with tooling like PDT. Here’s a workaround:

1) Download this file named com.genuitec.eclipse.aspphp.core_13.0.0.v202405290550-me.jar

2) Shut down MyEclipse

3) In your [MyEclipse installation]/plugins folder find the file with the same name as the above, replace it with the one you just downloaded. You can make a backup of the original file.

4) Start MyEclipse with the -clean argument. You can either start MyEclipse from the command line with myeclipse -clean or edit the myeclipse.ini file and add -clean on the first line, which you an remove after starting once with this argument.

The PHP editor should now be up and running.

We’ll be including a fix for this in our next release of course, but hopefully this works for you immediately, do let us know.

Brian,

I followed your instructions and it works nicely, the PHP editor is indeed up and running.

Thank you so much for being able to solve this so quickly.

Eric,

The thought you coding in Notepad++ made us work faster 🙂 Glad to know it’s working!
