I want to ask if Aptana studio 3 supports PHP?
I'm writing a program and trying to run it, but nothing happens when I press the "Run" button. I get the message "The selection cannot be launched and there are no recent launches." What did I do wrong?

When you are setting up the server (Window > Preferences > Web servers > New...) you need to chose "External Web Server", instead of "Simple Web Server". Enter the Name, Base URL and Document root as usual. Then for Start command enter NET START wampapache and for Stop command NET STOP wampapache. Once you set the Run command to use this server setup, it should work. (Well, it does for me, anyway.)
