Kate is an editor that seems to cope quite well with the double syntax
of php work (shame about it's stability), there is also an XEmacs
major-mode that works OK.

When you say IDE do you mean debugging etc or just syntax hilighting?
Unfortunately debugging software is notoriously hard to put together for
web-based/CGI work. This is because the nature of the environment is
client/server and this makes it difficult to step thru code lines on a
remote (or even loopback virtual remote) machine.

I don't know of any system for debugging PHP code like that. Debug code
is still the best.
(i.e. peppering your code with echos or prints to track what is
happening to a variable and that sort of thing)

Even M$'s Visual studio has difficulty at times. (getting that debugging
going is a pain) And when you do get it going it can become confusing
about what is running where.
