PHP and Windows seems like an odd combination to me, but definitely get a feel for how things are run, both in terms of workflow and interpersonal interaction before you start insisting on certain tools/environments. I work at a company that's a windows shop (it's possible to use other operating systems but requires jumping through a bunch of hoops that make it not worth it) but I rolled with it until I got a better feel for things. PHP is honestly a pretty swell language despite its irregularities and reputation amongst people who work with newer, more trendy language. It has a great community, and the language its self keeps getting updated with modern features, even if they're sometimes done in a slightly awkward manner.
