Initial Comment:
Basically just being able to right click on a function/method call, and being able to select an option which will bring you straight to it's declaration. This is a pretty standard feature in many editors (as it makes coding so much faster), so I would love to see it in phpEclipse.

Here's Zend Studio's version of it:

Note, you may need to be careful in the way that you find the position of the declaration. Because of the __autoload feature of PHP, you would probably want to search for the function using the contents of the project instead of trying to find it by searching all of the require or include files. Then again it might be even better if you were to do both.

As I said, no simple task.

Thanks a million Alex!

I had tried the context menu entry, however it didn't do a thing, however
the other method did lead me to the cause of my problem. I was having the
same issues as this guy (except didn't know it till tryin the Ctrl+click
combo thing):

After manually fixing the project and building, things then started
working perfectly. Thanks so much mate and sorry for the bogus feature
request.

If you hold down ctrl and hover over a funciton or class name it will
become a hyperlink to the declaration. If you click on it will bring you
to the selected function/method or class if it is the only one that exists
in the project. Otherwise it will prompt you with a dialog to select the
proper source file. If you right click on a function or class name there
is an option in the context menu named "Open Declaration/Include" with the
hotkey F3.
