You would probably be better off with an editor with a custom PHP mode, like Emacs and some versions of vi have.  Pico is a perfectly serviceable editor and very easy to use, but it doesn't help with open and close '', [], {}, (), etc.  If possible, see if you can get an editor to display colors for you.  This makes it a lot easier to diagnose errors like using an unescaped apostrophe inside single quotes.  For example, the stock version of vi that Red Hat installs shows '[color=red]This shouldn\'t be a problem[/color]' and '[color=red]This won[/color]'[color=white]t work[/color]'.  This makes it easy to see that I didn't escape in the second string.  And it's readable on a black background :sigh: 

Good luck,
Matt
