I've finally written up some release notes and cleaned the code up a bit (only a little; it's still a mess). If you'd like to play around with it or use it for your own project, you can get it here.
The code is released under the GPL; images are Creative Commons. It's slightly silly to bother with all these licenses for a 50kb application, I know. I guess my internet deadly sin is vanity (Catherine clearly gets dibs on wrath).

What do you use to edit a php file containing both html and javascript?
I know this one. The punchline is "vi".
I actually developed it in TextPad and ConTEXT, both of which are glorified (but free!) notepad replacements. If you wanted an IDE, I assume Zend can handle Javascript as well as its native PHP (I've never used it myself).

By me, emacs, which I understand has multi-mode support. But I've never had cause to use it.
Yeah. I can't stand vi, myself. Whenever I need to use a text editor in *nix I prefer emacs. But sometimes vi is the default (crontab) and there's not much to be done about it. Well, not much that I know how to do, anyway.
Set the VISUAL and EDITOR envvars.
My understanding is that VISUAL is the earlier of the two, and is so named because unlike, say, ed, you get to see more than one line at a time! The fact that operating systems have been written using tools like ed strikes me as an accomplishment on a par with the memorization by ancient (and even not-so-ancient) commentators of all of Homer or the Bible.
