How can I change the PHP variables color in Eclipse? It is very light blue/gray by default. I go to preferences and click on all the editors but doesn't seem it is there.
By the way, I install the Eclipse 3.5.1 with PHPEclipse 1.2.x plugin.

I am using Eclipse IDE for PHP Developers version 1.2.x and my path is as follows,
Preferences > PHP > Editor > Syntax Coloring > Variable
Try to download the PHP Development Tools (PDT) instead of PHPEclipse

Well.. i only have Preferences > PhpEclipse > PHP or Preferences > PhpEclipse > PHP Extneral Tools then there is no syntax coloring. I find there is for "java". It may do too but I don't want to mess up the syntax color for java file. :)

I would suggest downloading Eclipse IDE for PHP Developers updated my answer to include the link.

the problem is.... Eclipse IDE for PHP is win32. And I really can't find the 64 bit one. So, I stuck with installing the 'regular' 64bit Eclipse (java) and then do the PHPEclipse plugin.

I hope the 64-bit Windows version comes out soon for your sake. If I find anything helpful, I'll update my answer

Thanks. :) I spent hours of install Eclipse for PHP.. and hours of trying to figuring out how to change the syntax color. I think I just stick with the default color for now. :)

I have eclipse Helios running with 'PHPEclipse' plugin. I was able to resolve similar issue by making sure PHP files open with 'PHP Editor'.
- Right-click on the file, select 'open with' -> 'Other'.
- Choose 'PHP Editor'.
You can set 'syntax coloring preferences' at Window -> Preferences -> PHPEclipse -> PHP -> Tab syntax
