i've install apache 1.3.31....php 5.0.0....mysql 4.0.20d in my pc. i also install dreamweaver mx 2004. can i use dreamweaver for creating php file? i've already download n install php extension for dreamweaver. is there any program...word processor or text editor that specifically for create php?

one more thing...about mysql. when i try to set the root password..it return false. however when i use this command --> c:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root password (my password) <-- it working. but when i use this one --> c:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root -h (my_host_name) password (my_password) <-- its doesnt works. something error with host name. how do i find this "my_host_name" ?

for information...i use book n also surf internet. the book i use is "PHP and MySQL Web Development" 3'rd edition by Luke Welling n Laura Thomson. its also include those software that i've mention above (apache,mysql,php).

hope for advise here.
