from what i believe, dreamweaver can only do client side scripting with maybe syntax highlighting. Notepad++ is my favorite syntax highlighter for php (the dark themes so my eyes don't die from the white backgrounds).

Anyways, notepad is just fine.
 
Well, not necessarily you should use Dreamweaver, there're lots of tools to work with PHP. Try PHP plugin for Eclipse - it has excellent code completion based on functions and classes you've created (same is NetBeans for PHP) - it does really saves a lot of time (you can code rather than look through your files trying to remember what was that function's name).
 
...server apache, with mySQL? As this question already informs, i am new to programming so please bear with me.
Don't worry about your diction when responding to this. I am quite capable of deciphering programming semantics. It is dynamic issues like these that trouble me, so don't feel the need to "dumb the answer down". Just give it to me straight.
I appreciate it very much. Thank you.
