I have used a bunch of different php ide's and liked many of them, but I think I have recently purchased the one that I will use the most. Don't get me wrong, I am all for open source software but I found that buying blumentals WeBuilder 2006 was the best option for me.
I have heard others gripe about problems with the FTP interface, but I am not sure what they are talking about as the only thing I have done with the FTP is open documents from my server into it, work on them and then save them back on the server without actually having to pull down and re-upload them. For anything greater than that I use Filezilla, a free FTP program.
If you want a solid all around ide that will handle a whole bunch of things (from html, js, css and all other code languages to an SQL browser) I suggest buying this, it is reasonably priced and has a ton to offer. Plus they update the software on a regular basis so if you have things that you would like included, you can always ask and see if they'll include it in a future update.
