I have a PHP project sat on a remote server.
Can I create a new project in Eclipse by downloading the sources from the remote server.
If so, some instructions on how to do so please.

There is no direct way to do that, at least with standard install of Eclipse PHP
You would usually use "File > Import..." or "File > New Project > PHP Project..." menus for that, but I have never seen this option anywhere in Eclipse.
So this is one of three solutions :
- get a local copy of the php code
- import from source repository (e.g SVN, CVS, Git). (you do use one of these for your project, do you ?)
- switch to another IDE, NetBeans, which support "PHP Application from Remote Server", while being lighter IMHO.

Thanks for your answer, some projects don't use SVN. I normally use Netbeans, but also do a bit of Android and LUA/Corona so just wanted to try and keep everything 'under one roof'
It depends on the type of source control software. You can install git, svn or cvs modules. The steps to take are:
- Install module for git, svn or cvs
- Create new {git|svn|cvs} project, enter the server information
- Then it takes you to what kind of project to create, so create a PHP project. (This assumes that there isn't an eclipse project already submitted to version control.)

Not that I am aware of. Even when you remote debug you would still need a copy of the sources locally.

You can do the same, by fooling the local system.
- Create a Network Location drive
- Go on your desktop Right click > Add a Network Location
- Choose a custom Network Location
- Pass a Internet IP or network Location
e.g.
\\server\share (shared folder)
http://swatantra.info/share (Web Share)
ftp://ftp.swatantra.info (FTP site)
- Now it is similar to your normal local drive mapped as (Z:\ or so)
- Go on with your normal project creation stuff
