In that case you can check out Komodo, it is supported by Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux and it supports open source language like Perl, PHP, and Ruby. It supports integration with CVS, Subversion, and Perforce and allows direct FTP transfer of code to the server as well.

It has a regular expression debugger and is useful for newbie’s once you get a hold of it then you can start using use advanced regular expression features as well. It is one of the most reliable and feature-rich IDE for PHP.

I use Notepad++ with a few plugins. It's free and has a lot of very handy features such as changing character encoding, code coloring and also code completion....

Really that's enough to code with PHP.

You can also use Eclipse but i don't really like it, unless I'm coding with a framework like Symfony...
