Go to www.eclipse.org, click on the big orange Download Eclipse button
and download Eclipse Classic 3.3.1.1 for your platform.

It would be best if you make sure you have the latest Java.

Run the Eclipse, click on Help > Software Updates > Find and Install,
select Search for new features to install and click Next.

Click on New Remote Site, and give it as a name PDT and as URI
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/. This will add new remote
site and the check box will be checked. Check (!) as well the check box
in front of Europa Discovery site and click finish. Then you can accept
the suggested mirrors, just click OK.

When you get the search results, check the check box in front of the PDT
entry. At this moment you will get a red error on top of the window for
missing dependencies. In this moment open (!) the list of Europa
Discovery Site by clicking the small triangle and then (!) click the
Select Required button. This will select the required dependencies.

Go on and all should be fine. PDT sometimes gives an error on install,
if you get messed up, start new by unzipping Eclipse.

After all is done, Eclipse will ask you to restart.

Then click on the small icon in front of the word Java on top right,
choose Other and choose the PHP perspective.

This will get you started.

Here's another (pretty much the same) method :

-- How to Install and "Configure" PDT on a WinXP machine --

Installation de PDT-Eclipse

1. Download the latest stable PDTAllInOne paquet.

Check the PDT main page for updates:
http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/index.php

Look for the "What's new" section and go to the Downloads page :
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/downloads/?release=3DS 20071213-M1
(I used "December 16th - PDT 1.0.2 Milestone 1 is Ready!" link)

2. Modify ECLIPSE_ROOT/eclipse.ini with this :

-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
-vm C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_14\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs -XX:+UseParallelGC
-Xms128m
-Xmx768m

This enables a "good" memory management (it works for me : 2GB RAM).
If you have a Dual Core machine, use the "-XX:+UseParallelGC" option.

3. Modify the Win shorcut for your Eclipse/PDT install :

"C:\Program Files\eclipse\eclipse.exe" -vm "C:\Program =

Files\Java\jre1.5.0_14\bin\javaw.exe"

This way you tell Eclipse to use the JRE 5.0.

4. Enjoy !

I somehow never liked this all-in-one. Since 3.3 the management of
Eclipse components (at leas of the PDT) is quite easy, and if one can do
it using the Update Manager, one gets experience how to add other
components, such as version control, etc.

But, of course, to quickly start and try it, without fight, the
all-in-one (if working well) can be a good thing in some situations.
