<?php

$fp=fopen("test.php","r");
$content=fread($fp,8192);
?>
<textarea rows="30" cols="100" value="<?php echo $content; ?>"><?php echo $content; ?></textarea>
    PHP:
    The above code will open the file "test.php", read it into the $content-variable, and post that variable as the value of a text-field. You can then add to that so when you submit the form with the text-field, you rewrite the file in question, using the value from the textfield.

    A php file can be opened with any standard text file program. For example, even microsoft notepad will open and save to PHP files. Providing it has no actual PHP code/programming involved in the file, you could actually rename it as a HTML file and edit it the same way.

    As for visually editing the HTML elements of a PHP file, dreamweaver is probably one of the better tools to use however there are many programs which will do this. You will need to search for "WYSIWYG" editors.
