    PHP is a scripting language, so any text editor will do.

    Heh.
    It's a classic UNIX text editor. The modern version is Vim (Vi IMproved), which comes with most UNIX-based OSes (Linux, BSD, &c). There's been what amounts to practically a crusade between Vi and emacs since something like the year dot.
    There's a Windows emacs FAQ here, and there's a Windows version of Vim on the Vim page.
