I use Brackets as my text editor. It has some very nice features and can easily edit many languages including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I also write PHP, Sass, and Twig with it. Best of all, it is free. Check it out at http://brackets.io.

With respect to having a functional test platform for PHP, you have to install a server emulator. I use XAMPP and have been very happy with it. It is an easy install for both Windows and Linux. I have used both.

You have to have the project in the htdocs folder in the XAMPP folder for it to work, but it is easy to do.
