Getting below error after starting the eclipse.

Eclipse for PHP Developers

A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be available in order to run Eclipse for PHP Developers. No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations: C:\eclipse-php-3.0.2.v20120611144-Win32\eclipse-php\jre\bin\javaw.exe

javaw.exe in your current PATH

as per Windows 8 - Running Eclipse (Java VM not found)

Step 1:

At first download jdk(java development kit) and install it. the jdk includes the jre(java runtime environment). You can also install the jre alone.

Step 2:

Just add C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin in your PATH

goto Control Panel 

1. System 
2. Advance Setting 
3. Advance 
4. Environment Variables 
5. System variable Group 
6. look For PATH in the list 
7. Edit 
8. Add path of your `C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin` jdk installation and save

Remember to separate value with ;

update 1:

your New error (in comments) states you are using 32 bit version of java.

jdk is not 64bit. Reinstall Java 7 for 64 bits.

update 2:

First, Eclipse and JDK have to be x64

Second, the -vm argument in eclipse.ini should point to the java executable. See http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini for examples.
