My eclipse has no PHP core code completion functionality. I tried with new downloads, no chance.

How to add the Php Language Library?

Enabling the validation didnt work for me. I fixed it by ensuring that I have a .buildpath file in my project's root folder. the file looks like that:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<buildpath>
    <buildpathentry kind="src" path=""/>
    <buildpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.php.core.LANGUAGE"/>
</buildpath>

specifically adding this part does the job.
<buildpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.php.core.LANGUAGE"/>

I wasn't able to find a UI based solution (even with 3-20) - directly modifying the file worked for me
