Woah if you're on Windows and can't use python I wouldn't choose PHP as my first choice. Try C#/ASP.NET with either webforms or mvc ( http://www.asp.net/mvc). You can use free Visual Studio express IDE. Very easy/powerful development IMO and a large community with plenty of examples. If you're really stuck on PHP then I'd say look at Yii possibly with Netbeans IDE. But IMO C#/asp.net mvc is better experience than php if you have the choice.
