I'm a big fan of eclipse, more specifically EasyEclipse for PHP
(http://www.easyeclipse.org/site/distributions/php.html). I've been
using it on Windows for the past couple years and haven't looked back. I
just installed Ubuntu on my home machine last week and one of the first
things I installed was EasyEclipse -- it's also available for Mac, so
it's a truly cross-platform IDE.
I recommend the EasyEclipse distro as it comes with the PHP plugins
already installed, and you can install any other Eclipse plugins you
want. It's a great way for someone new to Eclipse to start out -- I
tried installing the standard Eclipse distro from eclipse.org and was
never able to get it working as well as the EasyEclipse distro works
from the get go.
It can be a little sluggish to start up, but I'm using it on my 6+ year
old machine with no problems.
