Answer 2

For anyone else that has this issue I've figured out how to fix it (when you find find the files for your webproject in htdocs).

Click on File -> New Project Then click on Php Application from Existing Sources... Then click on the files you have in your htdocs folder and it should show back up. (Note you might have to double check the port numbers when you set it back up).
