There are quite a few, check Download.com. Here are a few (just search for them and you'll find the URL):

HomeSite
EditPad
UltraEdit
NoteTab

All of these will allow you to view the PHP file without uploading it.

I think what she wants to do is to view the files in a browser (functioning properly) before uploading.

If that is the case, you'll have to install a web server and PHP. It really isn't that hard to do (I even did it!). I did have a page with some nice simple instructions but I'm afraid I've lost the link. Hopefully someone else can point you in the right direction. And don't worry - the Apache web server and PHP are both free!
