Because this is what I do (and it's a good tip for all but the smallest sites and applications) emacs works very nicely for my php editing. The emacs php mode doesn't do much for your html, if you embed it in the php, so if you tend to do this, then there is probably an editor that will make your code look prettier and which will account for the fact that php files often contain a ghastly messy mixture of php, sql and html, possibly with some javascript and css chucked in for good measure! Of course, it probably won't have a psychiatrist built in for tense moments...
