Hello,

will there be support for PHP 8 syntax in release 2020-12 of Eclipse PDT?
Or is there any other way to add this?

Thanks,
Thomas

I don't think so. 2020-12 php package has pdt 7.2. I think we should wait for pdt 8.0 release

Hi,

Is there a way to setup Eclipse so that "php 8.0 named arguments" are validated without generating a warning in the IDE?

I tried downloading software:-
https://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/8.0/.

And installing the latest Eclipse IDE development install
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2021-06/m2
(latest stable release was 2021-3)

In the currently project's properties->php>validation shows the latest "php version is 7.4".

Any advice?

php8 code example with named arguments:-
$this->create_questions( no_questions: $question_count );

php7.4 example without:
$this->create_questions( $question_count );

The issue of PHP 8.0 and 8.1 support is being tracked on GitHub - https://github.com/eclipse/pdt/issues/95

The sole developer working on PDT did commit to PHP 8.0 support for the 2022-03 release but unfortunately that does not seem to have materialised.

> I think we should wait for pdt 8.0 release
Do you have infos about pdt8? There has been no developer activity here since December 21.

Feedback (from project members) on how the PDT project will or could proceed would certainly be helpful.

The current PDT 7.2 supports only PHP up to version 7.4 (3 years old).

But in two month (Nov 2022) the PHP 7.4 support ends (https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php) and PHP 8.0 will be two years old (and PHP 8.1 one year)!
