A man after my own heart!  If you don't know Vi (Vim) and you are more used
to WIndows type editors, then check out some of the free php editors that
are available.  Start simple. IMHO unless you are doing some AJAX, you don't
need an IDE.  Even having said that, Firefox can tell you exactly where your
AJAX javascript booboos are.
