I would recommend http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_intro.asp as a starting
point for PHP. They don't dive in too deep with the tutorials and your own
programming inquisitiveness should help develop further.

Not sure of an IDE, but know that there's a ton of them out there and it's
probably a matter of personal preference ... I work in Visual Studio 6,
which has no interface for PHP at all, so in effect it's a glorified text
editor.

Not being familiar with Java, I am hardly qualified to comment on
differences and pros/cons. Have a read of
http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9593_22-5903187.html which is "PHP succeeding
where Java isn't"
