I've been using ActiveState Komodo for the last 4 or 5 years. The 4.x serie=
s runs well on FreeBSD. The newer 5 series runs but I can't get it to debug=
. I use it on FreeBSD and Windows it cost 250 or so if I recall.

ZendStudio is pretty good also but if I recall is more pricey but may compa=
ny paid for it. You can download it and I think it has version that are fre=
e.

The best thing about the above two are the offer debugging of PHP on remote=
 servers. The ActiveState product supports more languages as I use it also =
for Python - which I'm attempting to move my PHP development to also.

Bluefish is free and in the ports and it just offers code highlighting and =
I think completion. It more of a general web language IDE.

HTH.
