Both can do the job. The IDE will enable you to code and test in both php and html. Not sure if you need a lamp/wamp server or if the IDE is the server.
The text editor you create both php and html from scratch and upload to test. The editor has colors to highlight certain codes and stuff.
I'm not going to argue the home server point. Most can't set one up let along set one up properly. And most use windows, WAMP. That's enough reason not to use it for testing.
