I just do programming intermittantly: updates to a couple web sites. I
use pspad as an editor which has formatting & search/replace in multiple
files, helps with indenting, variable tracking, bracket matching, etc.

I learned in a community college & had to start with a Visual Basic
prerequisite. VB has a GUI form interface with property dialogue boxes &
some plain code mixed in too. I'm not aware of any interface for php
like that.
