    If you have money to spend, you can buy Dreamweaver. But to learn PHP, using a Dreamweaver is not a must. There are a lot of other editors that you can use out there.

    I learned most of my PHP out of the book. Dreamweaver has a lot of tools but then you have to take the time to learn Dreamweaver and then make your way into PHP.

    I'd try working with Notepad and reading some tutorials online where they explain the code. It'll save you time having to purchase and learn how to use Dreamweaver first...

    Notepad++, PSPad, etc. Too many to list it here. All can get your PHP jobs done.

    To learn ? Every editor is the same. Using dreamweaver you can develop almost a working cms without diving in to code. Refer some books. Good luck. :D

    A good reading I can recommend is "Build Your Own Database Driven Web Site Using PHP & MySQL, 4th Edition". If you want to learn the right way build something while learning, dont use the dreamweaver's built in php stuff :)
