I agree that Zend Studio is phenomenal. Another editor that I like is
NuSphere's PhpEd. You might want to look at this one too:

Up until recently, I've used Crimson Editor
(http://www.crimsoneditor.com) which does a great job with syntax
highlighting and is a great all around editor I think.  I'm surprised I
don't see it mentioned more often when I see lists of PHP-happy editors.

Right not I'm evaluating Zend Studio ($200-$250) which is PHENOMEMAL!..
But of course that's money.. Not free.

Since my boss said he might foot the bill if I found a good commercial
editor, I'm giving Zend a shot.   I did install and fool around with
PHPEdit briefly and for a free system, it looks really great.  For what
I'm doing though, I really wanted something a little more powerful (and
not necessarily free).

I really didn't dig into PHPEdit very deeply.  If Zend turns out to have
major problems, I'll give PHPEdit a more honest look.  First glance it
appeared fairly functional though.  Much more so than Crimson Editor.
But CE is still my favorite basic free code and text editor.

If you want a nice IDE with lots of menus and helpers, try either
PHPEdit 
(http://www.phpedit.org) or Maguma Studio 
(http://www.maguma.com/products.php?article=free).

My suggestion is that you download them all, have a go at each one and
keep the one 
you find more intuitive and feel most comfortable with.

Good luck,

Erik
