I came into this group for the same, or similar reason:

I have a large PHP project inside of Eclipse with PDT. I have a /htdocs 
folder and an /includes folder at the root of my project. The PHP 
Includes path on the target server is to the includes page below the 
htdocs. Our includes are done as follows:

/project/htdocs/authentication.php
require_once("auth.inc.php");

auth.inc.php is located here:
/project/includes/auth.inc.php

I cannot control-click the path in require_once() to open it. Setting 
the PHP include paths in the project to the includes directory also 
does not rectify the problem. To make matters worse, changing the path 
to:

required_once("../includes/auth.inc.php");

Does not work. These two work, however:

required_once("includes/auth.inc.php");
required_once("/includes/auth.inc.php");

This works in the project, but not in the deployed server environment. 
Lastly, this is Eclipse running on Windows, which does not have PHP 
installed. The project itself is actually a SMB share to a Debian Linux 
machine (my L: drive), which is running PHP. I've also added an 
"include_path" variable to the project inthe hopes that would trigger 
it, but it doesn't.

I verified all this before posting by creating a dummy PDT project, 
with a htdocs and includes folder off the project root. In the htdocs 
folder, I created an index.php file, which contained this:

<?php
	require_once("test.inc.php");
?>

In the includes folder, I created the test.inc.php, with this code:

<?php
	echo("hello world");
?>

Before setting up paths or variables, I tried to control click the URL 
and it didn't work.
I set up an include path in the project to point to the includes 
folder, and I still couldn't control click the file. I then also set up 
the includes_path variable pointing to the includes folder, and still I 
could not control click the path in the index.php file.

I'm assuming this is a bug, or I'm greatly missing the point here. I've 
read the documentation that I could find, and there's no mention of 
this. Any information would be great.
