I have been using NuSphere's PhpED for the past six months. It is not free (though a trail version is available), however it is better than Eclipse/Netbeans by leaps and bounds. If feels much more coherent, there is no excessive overfunctionality. Writing macros for symfony is a piece of cake, there is a GREAT debugger, and last but not least - it is goddamn fast. Unlike what most IDEs seem to be going for right now (Java), PhpED is written in C++. The one downside I guess would be the fact that its only available for Windows (well, that and the quite hefty price tag, but you really do get what you pay for).
