How do I change the text cursor color in the Eclipse IDE for Windows?
I want to change only the color of the cursor, but I can`t find an option to do this. Is it possible? If so, how?

Try pressing Alt + Shift + A .
If you are getting the bold black cursor, then the icon must be enabled. So, click on the Toggle Vrapper Icon to disable. It's located in the Eclipse's Toolbar.
You may have just pressed your INSERT key on your keyboard. This changes Word, etc., from insert mode to overtype mode. Press the INSERT key again and it should toggle back to being a line.
You can find these settings in:
Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editor -> Text Editors: Appearance color options
AND
Window -> Preferences -> General -> Appearance-> Colors and Fonts: in the Basic Folder

I couldn't find one just for the cursor when using Eclipse for PHP, but you might try changing the current line color to be a bit lighter/darker if you are having trouble seeing the cursor (ref: How to change the color of current line & text selection in eclipse (for Java)?, Cursor color in Eclipse 3.5/Zend Studio 7 on Mac OS X.)
