That's only if you intend a total system.  The editor I'm contemplating needs only to understand the structure of PHP files, and not their meaning.  This means it should be a good deal less complex than the PHP interpreter.  To make things easier for myself, I don't even intend the editor to fully parse PHP/XHTML.  Just enough to cover the basic templates.

That project looks like a good reference point for what to cover.
