If you are speaking of dynamic web design (you mentioned PHP) try
looking into Seaside:
http://seaside.st/

It's power is smalltalk - either visual works or squeak
(http://squeak.org/About/)

If you are looking into programming languages, look into squeak. See the
link above for more than my brief intro here, but also the homepage for
info: http://squeak.org/

The complete system is open and at your disposal for modifying,
inspecting, learning, debugging, creating, etc.
Squeak runs on many platforms and the image is bit-identical for all
platforms (although there may be some a plugin that only runs on only
one or a few platforms - but I don't know of any off hand.)

Developers see: http://squeak.org/Features/Development/

I'd be happy to answer any questions about squeak.
