You don't need them on-line.
Check out: http://www.chsoftware.net/en/useware/wos/wos.htm
This will allow you to install Apache, php, mySQL and a few other apps
and run them all from the USB drive. Obviously you'll need a large
capacity USB stick (4-6gb). I recommend getting a USB drive, I
currently use an 80gb drive for this purpose.

Text Editors: google Notepad++.

Codepress:

It's a syntax editor for the web; you could hook it into a web-based
file management system of some kind and you're set.


I started one a while ago that's a little slower but much cleaner code
(read the post for compatability notes) Never got around to finishing
it, but you're welcome to pick up where I left off if you're into
Javascript:

And a demo:

There used to be software called About:Edit that was exactly what you
need (online IDE with file management) but their website
(http://www.aboutedit.com) seems to have disappeared.
