This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
The user should be informed (without adding too much noise) that NetBeans only supports version 5 of PHP. I suggest making changes to the Description field of the New Project wizard - step 1 ("Creates a new PHP 5 application...") and the Global Options ("PHP 5 Interpreter").
Fixed in changeset b540158bd1f0.
the wizard has description -Creates a new PHP 5 application in a standard IDE project. Such project can be easily run and debugged.
