How to enable PHP support in Netbeans?

Question

On Ubuntu, I have install netbeans but it does not have any option to start a php project. I've looked at the plugin list and php is not in the list, neither is it in the plugins to download list.

I've gone to the netbeans website and I am not sure which php plugin to download.

Can someone please help me with this?

Ubuntu 12.04 64bit has netbeans 7.0.1 in the software repository.
