    I use Notepad ++ - it has syntax highlighting and what not.

    PSPad does it for me - freeware, lightweight, colouring for a variety of languages and autocomplete for HTML tags and PHP functions.

    Emacs? Vim? :) Both free, very extensible, lots of possibilities. Once you get hooked on one of them, you'll be trapped for the rest of your life.

    editplus. its great

    or dzphp but its only a 30 day trial

    editplus really is class. has syntax highlighting for nearly every language. built-in browser, you can add your own compile tools for java, c etc...

    PHPeclipse - http://www.phpeclipse.de

    Great for the big projects.

    If I'm only hammering together a dirty script though, I'll use Syn.

    I've found phpEdit good, though I'm certain there are far more experienced-with-php types posting here and better programmers too. I still like vim though, it's got all those purty colours and such so I'd tend to go for that.

    I find HomeSite pretty nifty myself. It will do most things, and I've always used it for PHP, JSP and ASP. Great for scripting languages because it highlights the script syntax and also has all the built in HTML stuff for code insight. Works well with javascript, and I have the PHP manual, ASP and javascript docs plugged in as buttons whenever I need to go for a reference on something.

    However you gotta buy it. Ive had mine for ages now, but i think it' about $90 or something like that.
