    If you wanna use HTML/PHP/MYSQL on your PC have a look at WAMP. It installs it all for you and lets you test your scripts without having to upload to the web.

    If you already have Eclipse, PHPclipse might be worth a look

    I meant to reply to this sooner but I didn't get a chance to until now. I haven't worked with PHP properly in months but when I did, I liked these editors:
    • PHP Designer 2007 I have the 2006 version of this and I found it to be straightforward and easy to use. I liked the way that the PHP help was integrated so all I had to do was highlight a function and hit F1 to get the help for it.
    • Maguma Studio The free version of this has a popup at program startup but no other restrictions as far as I remember.
    • UltraEdit This one isn't free or specifically for PHP but it's the editor I use the most outside of Visual Studio for what it's worth.

    I would recommend downloading the first two editors and trying them out as you've nothing to lose!

    Couldn't the PHP scripts be loaded onto a local installation of Apache for development and testing?
