Starting with PHP can feel like navigating through fog, with complex syntax making you feel lost in a maze of code. This phase requires you to learn the basics of the PHP language, deeply understanding its syntax, features, and design patterns, including variables, data types, functions, classes and objects, namespaces, etc. From variables to classes, progressively deepen your understanding of PHP's core knowledge. It's advisable to combine the official PHP documentation and online tutorials to build a solid foundation. Resources and tools to consider: PHP official documentation, PHP manual, online tutorials, PHPStorm, and other Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). Consider practicing basic coding with PHPStorm and Sublime Text.

The format of the test files themselves is inspired by the relatively new initiative by the Sublime Text team when they introduced a new grammar file format called Sublime Syntax and – more importantly – a way to unit test grammars. It’s using some lovely human-friendly magic comments that allow to specify what scopes should the grammar file produce for a given position on a given line.

lite-xl. VERY extensible, fast, all around great editor. https://lite-xl.com/

There are many text editors extensible in Lua or in Python. They generally don't allow messing with the innards as much (Firefox proved that's a double edge sword with its extension, it's not an unalloyed good).

And Emacs Lisp doesn't feel super accessible to most software developers under 40. Almost all its conventions come from a small little island, it's like marsupials in Australia, their own little parallel evolution.

Lite XL.
