PHP is a widely-used Open Source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. Its syntax draws upon C, Java, and Perl, and is easy to learn. PHP runs on many different platforms and can be used as a standalone executable or as a module under a variety of Web servers. It has excellent support for databases, XML, LDAP, IMAP, Java, various Internet protocols, and general data manipulation, and is extensible via its powerful API. It is actively developed and supported by a talented and energetic international team. Numerous Open Source and commercial PHP-based application packages are available.

I use dreamweaver MX. I don't know whether this is the best editor to use, but it seems to work fine for me. I like the way it puts different identifiers in specific colours, and it shows simple errors quickly. There are shortcuts that you can programme into the editor aswell.
I do find that I have to have a good knowledge of php, as DW isn't much good at writing code for you.

Model-View-Control
Hi! I am a newbie to php, but I found it is very powerful, so I am quite eager to learn more. Does it also support Model-View-Control, Ajax, and tiled layout solution in frontend? Thanks
