Vim?
Very lightweight editor and still very powerful and extendable.

You could also try gvim.

gvim is part of the standard vim distribution.

If you are looking for a Notepad++ like editor, the default editor in GNOME - gedit - might work well for you. It's also already installed on your system.

I can recommend gedit in 95% cases. The only issue with it is that it always runs as a single process. If you edit anything over network (read: over network mount), and it disconnects for a little, gedit will probably freeze for 10 minutes.

+1 any reasonable text editor, including the [K]Ubuntu default, is just fine and will syntax-highlight PHP.

I am using SciTE mainly for Python programming on Windows but it works great also for PHP on Ubuntu.
It is lightweight but powerful and user-friendly. I've used Notepad++ as well but my personal preference goes to SciTE

SciTE uses the same editor component as Notepad++, so this is a good recommendation for someone who wants a similar editor on a different platform.

I would have to say Komodo Edit here (not Komodo IDE) - I use it extensively and it's quite lightweight (in comparison to Eclipse and Eclipse based editors) and it's more than just a notepad.

I agree that Komodo Edit is very good choice. However I think that SciTE is more lightweight

SciTE has some evil bugs with cyrillic characters (or at least had the last time I used it (about an year ago)) and configuration is quite painful (text files)

vi/vim and emacs/xemacs can be very powerful, take a look if you have time.

Just to mention, not to recommend though :) I've tried Bluefish (available in Synaptic). It's buggy, but at least doesn't crash. Syntax highlighting breaks. Opening new files is slow (it tries to run another process, then opens in the main one). I keep it only as a ring-buoy in case if gedit freezes, and I have to go on working.
