Adobe Dreamweaver is actually a really good PHP development platform, especially since CS4.

I recently discovered PhpStorm from Jetbrains, I’ve been using it on an extremely large codebase that completely chokes netbeans, so far it has come through with flying colors. Check it out at http://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/

I used to be a long time Zend Studio user but Komodo Edit (Free) and Komodo IDE (pay) from ActiveState get my vote these days. Great PHP support, FTP/SCP/SFTP etc too. I also appreciate the fact that when I need to write scripts in other languages the support is just as good.

I would strongly encourage you to look at NetBeans (http://netbeans.org/features/php/). Although it is written in Java, is very fast on Windows. It’s a brilliant IDE, works great for PHP coding, integrates Mercurial, knows refactoring, etc..
I used to use Notepad++ exclusively, and decided to make the move, so I’ve tested several free IDEs, of which NetBeans gets the big prize. You’ll find that many PHP developers think NetBeans does a great job.
