Try notepad ++ as a start.

I think NetBeans rocks. It does most of what I need and it's free.

 

[JCash]

Textmate

+1 for NetBeans. Best IDE I've seen so far for PHP, and it's wrote in Java so it's cross platform.

IDEs are for pussies, use sublimetext: Sublime Text - Download

NetBeans ugh... Had to use it for a project while still in the corporate world... Never again...

PSPad at the moment for me, but only because I'm too lazy to find something better. Does everything I need but is a bit overloaded for my taste.

EDIT: Just switched to sublime thanks to dchuk

Textmate for Mac
Notepad++ for Windows

Zend Studio also works but you need a decent home server setup to get it working because the remote server project sucks at getting declarations to work correctly.

I took a look at about 10 different IDE's before selecting NetBeans.

In addition to that there are 2 tools that I find invaluable for getting what I need done.

1. PivotalTracker (this is a story based project manager)
2. GitHub (source tracking and used by the biggest companies in the world)

Try Sublime text, it's great

My own custom IDE, actually, and for the code editor part, it runs: http://www.actiprosoftware.com/products/dotnet/windowsforms/syntaxeditor/default.aspx

When I need to code outside of the IDE though, always Macromedia HomeSite+. Been using it for over a decade, and still can't find anything that comes even close to it. Best out there.

Notepad++, but I also like the jetbrains PHP editor
