I like "PHP Designer" it has a simple and clean interface.

Both answers are what I use, though I use Dreamweaver more since I have used that for about 8 years.

It's hard to say that any given IDE is the 'best'. What's best for me, may not be the best for you, Personally, I'll +1 phpDesigner. I've been using it since early 2005.

You may want to have a look around at PHP Editor Review - PHP IDE - they have reviews, features, screenshots, etc of the many different PHP IDE's.

If you are in Linux+GNOME, user Nautilus to conenct to server, and use Gedit to edit the PHP files.

I use Aptana IDE and I like its huge feature set. For me it is best at the moment.

Is anyone tried NetBeans ? It should be a good and complete (including debugging) application for PHP.

I've tried netbeans and I am still using it for projects.
It has all the features I needed with code competition (also with function/methods you create), debugging, code formating and lots more.

I personally think Dreamweaver is the better commercial IDE, NetBeans is my favourite open source IDE. NetBeans requires a bit more configuration to get the most out of it imo.

pspad and notepad++ for pure text editors with syntax highlighting

Netbeans for php is very good

I also use intype which handles very large files (logs, csv, sql dumps etc ) and can quickly be customized with dark backgrounds (presets)
it also has some functions for php syntax, however I saw it crash few times ( it's still in alpha )

I have used dreamweaver a lot in the past months and it's amazing for productivity, database interaction etc, but the code you build using its embedded features is hardly editable: I wouldn't use it for huge complex projects

One vote for NetBeans here, also Eclipse with the PHP plugin is great, with code completion, class listings etc

Eclipse + PHP plugin + subclipse + sshfs. You can work directly on a remote server transparently, and revision control everything.

I was wondering if I was alone. :P

I never really got into using IDEs.
