Another zero cost solution is PHPEclipse.
A bit heavier to install, but as an IDE that can handle almost anything
you want to throw at it, Eclipse offers editors for most file formats,
and the PHP plug-in just works the same way.

Debugging is still a little weak, but it's just as easy to drop print
statements in where you are trying to track problems. So while I 'had to
have a working debugger' when I was switching, now I don't normally need
to set it up ;)
