I think netbeans is good, although it is aimed at java just make sure you select to install the php section - it handles mysql databases to so you dont need phpmyadmin (if it is local or you can connect remotly)

http://netbeans.org/

I have never had any problems - it also suggests code and any methods or properties you create in other file.
Much better than N++!

I mostly use Eclipse now but I used jEdit before. Eclipse has a lot more features, most of which I'll never use, but I like it for the features I do use.
