 Splitting this up from #46045.

 When using a local setup that supports ssl certs so it's possible to view
 the site over https both editors always return `Unable to communicate back
 with site to check for fatal errors, so the PHP change was reverted. You
 will need to upload your PHP file change by some other means, such as by
 using SFTP.` .

 There's no need even to change any code as well simply viewing a `.php`
 file and clicking on `Update File` throws the notice.

 To be more specific just in case more can replicate I'll split some cases:

 Https + active theme / plugin. **Result** : `Unable to communicate back..`

 Https + inactive theme / plugin. **Result** : `File edited successfully.`

 Http + active theme / plugin. **Result** : `File edited successfully.`
 Http + inactive theme / plugin. **Result**: `File edited successfully.`
