Kate and Projects (discuss.tchncs.de)

Until now, I have been using Visual Studio Code to develop my PHP projects. However, I would like to give Kate a try, even though it offers slightly less in terms of overall scope. My PHP projects are usually organized in folders. In VSCode, I can save these as “workspaces” and also save various settings that only apply to that one project/workspace. I couldn't find any workspaces in Kate. I therefore assume that the equivalent is “projects.” Is that correct?

If so, how can I open a specific project? I haven't found a way to save a project under a specific name, so I have no idea how to open an existing project later.

Can someone briefly explain to me how working with projects in Kate is supposed to work?

BTW: I usually edit PHP files in a local directory, but when I save them in VSCode, the changes are also transferred to another computer via SFTP at the same time. Is there a similar option in Kate? I mean, without me having to trigger anything else.

Sounds more like you're looking for Sessions than Projects. Have a look at the Sessions menu.
