je first of all set a localhost

use Xampp or WAMP both are good

you have Apache (the server), PHP (the language) and MySQL (database) with them

for any functions go to www.php.net and for any errors, google them. I always find a solution over there :D

for development I always use Dreamweaver but there are some PHP software like PHP Designer for example

I've been using the Eclipse Web Tools Platform for Java EE development, which works great, and there is also a version for PHP development available at http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/

Can't you get a web server from your college? Otherwise use a local hosted server like hex4 said.

I am using nano text editor (@ linux console - through ssh though, I'm using windows) but I remember that when I was beginning with php I was using dreamweaver. It's great for css too, but it's easy to miss some of the possibilities you have when writing the code without the support it offers ^^ ( ofc you can do it while using it, but it's hard at first).

As for hosting, I haven't look at free offers for a long time, as I have my own vps ATM, but I remember that http://cba.pl was much better than anything other at some time. But, as it is .pl, it may be hard for you to create an account ^^

EDIT: as for css I love the way http://csszengarden.com uses it :) I learn a bit of css just from reading it's code.

As above you can set up a local server using apache is you don't use iis.

I have used WAMP before which gives you the latest apache, PHP and MySQL set ups easily

WAMPServer

If you want a developement tool PHPEclipse is a PHP scripting plug in for eclipse which is nice to use and free
