Just download the XAMPP Server from here :
*www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html

Install it and you're set to go...
Just type your program in any text editor and save it under c:\xampp\htdocs\ folder and type *localhost/<ur-project-name>

Thats it..

Say if u just create a project folder named phptest in c:\xampp\htdocs\phptest, then type *localhost/phptest in ur browser to run the script..

And dont forgot to start ur server...:grin::grin:

WAMP Server is just another server like XAMPP. Nothing more than that.

To add text box,drop down box you must write it in HTML.No other way.
Here i'll give u an example code :
PHP: 
<?php
//do something here
?>
<input type=text name=username>
<?php
//again do something here
?>

An AFAIK, there is no IDE's for PHP as per your requirement.
If you want to certification course, then i suggest you to do LAMP/WAMP..
(Hope u know what does the LAMP/WAMP stands for)

Also try to learn AJAX apart from the certification as AJAX makes PHP more flexible and to create a rock solid web sites.

Always confused
before that code include:
Code: 
<html>
<head>heading
</head>
<body>
<form action="ourpage.php"  method="post">
Username: <input type="text" name="user">
Password: <input type="password" name="password">
Submit/Enter: <input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
And the php script can be written by yourself for the ourpage.php to handle the input.
LAMP=Linux Apache MySQL Php.perl/python
WAMP=windows in place of Linux

U can use Easyphp inplace of xampp as it is even easier than XAMPP. The navigation and the SQL is better in easyphp.(my opinion)
