php is an executed language, so there is no such this as wysiwyg for it. To see what php does, you need to create the file, then send it through a php engine (usually on a server).

Firepage's phpdev (http://www.firepages.com.au/) lets you run an apache server locally and see the results. This is not 100% accurate, unless you know enough about your live server to get the settings identical, but it's still very useful.

As for the texct editors to produce php files, there are hundreds out there. I use html-kit (http://www.chami.com/html-kit/), but there are a lot of other options to think about. All of them have some sort of php library built in, so they will help you out with the syntax.

I don't know of any simple/cheap php-building software out there -- but there may well be something available. An editor that does a syntax check would be useful, if anyone can suggest one.

I believe you can use short asp type tags which will allow editors like frontpage to read your php code and recognise it as CODE. but then again, talking of a proper wysiwyg editor, its a better idea to first sit down and do your designing in plain html using a wysiwyg editor and then fill in your php code manually and test it on your apache or whatever server.

At the moment I'm using PHPEdit, see http://www.phpedit.com
I'm quite satisfied with the functionality it provides, especially with the class browser and integrated code hint that even recognizes classes included from files. The code hint even manages to show only those variables that are available in the current scope. Ah yes, it's also free, but sometimes a little quirky (what else does one expect from a 0.7 version).
