I've used Notepad++ for as long as I can remember and have never found a reason to change it yet. It's fast, free and has a handy ftp plug-in that allows you to make changes to live websites quickly.
I use a program called developers notepad, google it. Works wonders and very simple to use. Just make sure you uncheck the usearch toolbar when you are installing it.
Notepad++ or context on windows and vim on any unix/unix like os. I don't think there is any need for a IDE with php I find it much easier without a IDE they seem to just get in the way.
