There are Eclipse IDE for Java and Eclipse for PHP.
I've already installed Eclipse for JAVA.
I don't want to install another eclipse for PHP.
Is it possible to use the same Eclipse for both Java and PHP? What is the right process.please tel me.

That is not possible you need to install Eclipse PDT for PHP seperately. – Shankar Narayana Damodaran Mar 27 '14 at 06:04

Use Notepad++ for PHP. PHP doesn't require a specific folder structure or whatever. – Hassan Mar 27 '14 at 06:05

No need IDE. Even notepad is good. PHP is an interpreted language not a compiler based or assembler based. – Hassan Mar 27 '14 at 06:13

You don't need to install 2 Eclipse. You just need to download and install the PHP IDE plugin for the Eclipse you have installed.
Follow the instruction here: http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/downloads/
Look into the section PDT Repository
Following I copy and pasted from the above link:
To install latest stable PDT build, open "Help -> Install New Software" in Eclipse and enter following URL: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/release
So in your Eclipse:
- click Help->Install New Software
- In the "Work With" field put "http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/release"
- Press Enter
- You should see in "PHP Development Tools" check the checkbox
- Click "Next" and follow the instruction to complete the installation
