I'm not sure what you're asking. Do you want a development tool for your phone, or are you asking if you can view a website that uses PHP on a phone?

No browsers ever see PHP. Be it Mobile Safari on your iPhone, or Firefox on your desktop. All browsers see is the result of PHP running - which is usually html code. So the question you should be asking isn't whether you can access a PHP based website on your smartphone, you should ask whether the html rendered by PHP is viewable on the smartphone.

To answer that question, the answer is simply: if the site is coded properly, yes. Smartphones have pretty good browsers & if the site is built to standards, you should have no problem.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
