The best way I have found to do this is to have your PHP files in a BBEdit project, and then set the project settings to open a local website. To have a local website, you can use any of a number of methods, including MAMP, HostBuddy, VirtualHostX, VirtualBox, etc., or you can set up your local Apache server to serve your site locally with PHP. I just use the built-in Apache with modifications to the httpd.conf, hosts, and vhosts files. There are a couple of fiddly bits involved when doing it this way, but you don't have to download and maintain anything and it works just fine.
