Not a pure PHP editor, but I like Crimson Editor. It has macro recording facilities that will simplify a few programming requirements, and has a few features to help beautify the code.

@JhonCena, You can use Eclipse IDE, install the "PHP IDE plugin" click here
You also need atleast 512 MB RAM.

NOTE: Eclipse needs Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.5.0 or higher.

I have used PHP Designer. It is good but is buggy and too heavy on resources. :(

Now I use what Notepad++. Light on resources, puts the various parts of code in colours so easily readable.

Try PHP Designer2006 Pro. You can view the output of your localhost in the editor itself.It is good.

Notepad ++ is way to go for small projects.
Else use Eclipse IDE.
