Anyone else doing php?

I just started out and it strikes me that it looks a lot like a cross between C, java and foxbase code. I've been writing using notepad and Dreamweaver. Are there any other tools for development that I should look at?

<?php
	for($i = 0; $i < mysql_num_rows($result); $i++)
        {
                $row_color = ($i % 2) ? $color1 : $color2; 
		echo ("<tr bgcolor=$row_color>");
		$row_array = mysql_fetch_row($result);
		for($j = 0; $j < mysql_num_fields($result); $j++)
                {
		echo("<td><font size=\"1\" face=\"Verdana\">" . $row_array[$j] . "</font></td>");
		}
		echo("</tr>");
	}
?>
