    Notepad, DW is what I use, there isnt one that is better then the other there are some which are specific to PHP but they dont make any better results. Syntax highlighting is the only thing which is good in DW.

    I use phpDesigner. It is not the best but it has some basic stuff like code highlighting, etc.

    I use phpDesigner too. Much better than notepad since I'm a beginner.

    I use NotePad++ for simple tasks and Eclipse with PHP plugin for larger projects.

    But it comes down to personal preference. Try a few and decide for yourself :)

    I use phpEdit as it greys out the html when you are editing php code and greys out php code when you are editing html.. I find that it makes editing much easier. I haven't come across any other editor that does this.

    I've also downloaded Eclispe and quite like it. It's pretty much the same as other editors though from what I've seen so far.

    For PHP exclusively then Zend Studio hands down. HTML well mostly by hand but any WYSIWYG editor will due assuming it can at least generate semi sane html that can be manipulated by css.
