It depends on the zip format - some plugins are packaged in different ways.
What you WANT is for the directory ECLIPSE/plugins to contain net.sourceforge.phpeclipse subdirectories. If you find them inside an ECLIPSE/plugins/plugins directory, pull them up a level.
"ECLIPSE" is your Eclipse base directory, BTW.
The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.
