I like Jext, if anyone ever heard of it. Its built with Java (so for any OS), and it has tons of features, and edits 10s of different languages, has many plugins (including built-in FTP support), and it's open source! Its free!

Ditto, HTMLKIT is free and has context sensitive PHP help built-in...

JEdit

I vote for JEdit: it is Java and the same JAR can be installed on any platform. Pretty fast too!

Standard editor, like Editplus. It also has default blank editable script etc.
Try it.

Yeah! TextPad! :D I love it. It's a very small file, has tabs, line numbering, undo after saving and more.

HAPEdit is great too. The colors distract me but others may find it more useful. http://hapedit.free.fr/hapedit.php

I used Homesite for a long time and just switched to my action script editor SciTEFlash ( http://www.bomberstudios.com/sciteflash/ ) which also can be configured for many other languages and also PHP. It's a slick and small editor and has some great features to maintain overview about your code.

PHP expert editor is good for getting in to your code quick and making adjustments

however it does seem to die on larger file-sizes +15mb (which you should never ever have a script that large by the way)

and its only a 30 day trial, but i still recommend you try it

I use Crimson Editor for just about everything. It's very light and comes with over 100 different syntax files. It's features include also project files which are very helpful sometimes.
Only minus is that it is only Win program so you Linux users are not able to enjoy your life of coding.

What can I say? I've been using PHP for 3 days and I just use the "Kate" editor that comes with KDE. Maybe one day I'll graduate to something better. But I'm certainly not good enough to know what I'm missing yet.

to be honest, i am yet to see anything better on linux than kate theres some good JAVA software but its java hence usually unreliably and clunky

php edit is too slow for my kinda usage. I develop online (on a development adres) so when I use total commander I have to close phpedit every time I finished killing a bug...

next to that phpedit totally <span style='color:blue' title='I&#39;m naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> up my extension assignment (it tries to open .BAT files, dll files, everything!)

I thougth phpedit was the best, but not for me... So Homesite is still the one I use most. I also use textpad a lot
