well..

Since PHP has code in it that must be executed on the server *before* it is rendered on a client's browser then in order to debug it, or preview it you would need to set up a personal webserver on your local machine that can execute PHP, or constantly upload to the webserver...

You can, however, edit PHP files the same way you would any other file. Some editors offer syntax highlighting which helps. I use dreamweaver but you could use notepad if you wanted to. The editor is irrelevant for creating and editing php files. Just make sure to wrap any PHP code you add to the file with

<?php

and

?>

That tells the server to parse/execute PHP
