PHP Explorer View

The PHP Explorer view is an internal file system browser, allowing you to view all PHP projects and files in your Workspace.
The PHP Explorer view shows the PHP element hierarchy of the PHP projects in the Workbench. It provides you with a PHP-specific view of the available resources in the Navigator. The element hierarchy is derived from the project's build paths.  Within each project, source folders and referenced libraries are shown in the tree. In addition, this view shows all PHP code elements (classes, functions, variables, etc.). Clicking an element or declaration will cause the corresponding code to appear in the PHP editor.
