Editor:
A reasonable freebie for editing in either environment is Eclipse
http://eclipse.org with the php plugin
http://www.phpeclipse.de/tiki-view_articles.php
Architecture:
It really depends on the demands that will be placed on the system.
Small applications can be routed through one central controller, more
complex systems may want to spread the load.
Personally, I like to have a 1:1 relationship between the code that
paints the screens (views) and the code that does the business logic
(controllers) and uses objects to talk to the database (model).
So, for example, if I have a subject 'foo', I will have a foo.php which
paints the screen and a foo.ctrl.php which has all the business logic.
This allows me to code things like foo.cell.php for cell phone displays,
etc. without changing the business logic code or the database access
code.
The rule is foo.php is only called by foo.ctrl.php (via a header()
redirect) and foo.php will only call foo.ctrl.php (via POST or GET).
