Voted for Zend, we use it at work, so after 8hours each day I kinda get used to it and also attached....
Still I have to post as I'm also coding at home when I have the time and I'm not too tired.
At home I use notepad++. You can easily google and download it. I run M$ Windoze at home... will move to suse soon(TM).
I has code colouring and all for a multitude of languages and all and is just a small quite text editor.

I use CrimsonEditor, because it supports japanese character. The next is dreamweaver 2004, but it's heavy, my old little machine cannot carry.

I installed it. First thing it did when I executed it after installing it was try to connect to a remote computer without asking. I opened a .php file and it was all black text. I guess you have to turn on the syntax highlighting manually? There doesn't appear to be any autocompletion. I right clicked on a php file and tried to use the PSPad context menu to open it but the program couldn't start due to an error.
Thumbs down on that one.

I am a big fan of Zend studio. As a person who is learning php, it offers a lot of features that really help. My only regret is that I did not buy the pro version because it is too expensive for my needs, but I would love to have the local server ability.

Zend studio pro is loaded to gills with cool features. More than I even have need for. and Zend studio server is a pretty nice little tool also fo managing your server and such.

PSPad is my favorite editor - I've never had any problem with it - auto-connecting or syntax highlighting. Sounds like you just got a bad install.

Annoys me that none of the editors apart from PHP Design Studio and Zend (which both suck :p) don't use default highlighting and all have their own crappy highlighting.. why none of them use the same as per php.net as default is beyond me.

The default colors used by the
highlight_string() and
highlight_file() PHP functions.
