PHP is indeed a good platform-independent choice. You probably want 
Dreamweaver. The editor in MX 2004 is much improved over previous 
versions. If you're comfortable and more productive with a programmer's 
editor (I'm on Mac OS X and code in BBEdit), then you can split the 
drag-and-drop editing and the text editing between Dreamweaver and your 
preferred editor. Setting your external editor is a Preference in 
Dreamweaver.

Documentation: The online help docs at http://www.php.net is excellent, 
and http://pear.php.net/manual/ is good too.
