I've just update to Eclipse Indigo with PDT 3.0.0.v20110516.

My php files contains some html and Eclipse reports errors for many of them since they use pre-html5 elements (eg the "cellspacing" attribute of "table").
Since my projects are still targeted to html4, is there a way to specify the doctype for these php files?

Thank you
Michele

Unorthodox method:

1. Select html file in PHP Explorer.(if there is no html file, create new one)
2. Right-click > Properties > Web Content Settings.
3. Choose preferred doctype in Document type list.
4. Click OK and exit eclipse.
5. Open {your_workspace}/{your_project}/.settings/org.eclipse.wst.html.core.prefs with text editor.
6. Replace
document-type/{your_file_name}=...
by
document-type/<project>=...
(do not modify "<project>")
7. Start eclipse.

Orthodox method:

<skip since I don't recommend>

Thanks Toshihiro! It worked!
Initially I thought it didn't, since my php files were still reporting html5 validation errors even after a "Refresh" (F5).
But I forced a full rebuild of the project by doing this unorthodox method:
1. I opened one of the php files
2. Select all->Cut (so the file has been emptied)
3. Saved the file
4. Pasted in in its previous content
5. Saved it
Eclipse started a rebuild progess and all the validation errors disappeared, in all the php files.

Thanks a lot!

Ah, you're able to validate manually by
Right-click on project or folder or file > Validate
