Are there any good IDEs for PHP that have design view as well?

Like in Dreamweaver, or visual studio, sometimes it is advantageous to place controls with drag and drop.

Also want syntax highlighting and some kind of versioning control.

I know this question is quite like others asking about PHP but I specifically desire this feature.

If you're already familiar with Eclipse, they have a PHP plugin

Zend Studio does, but it's not cheap for personal use.

There's Aptana Studio, based on Eclipse.

I actually installed Aptana but I don't see how to do design view.

Dreamweaver CS4 does support PHP/MySQL, with syntax highlighting, design view, and Subversion integration.

On the down side, it doesn't have any intellisense-like feature for code completion (that I'm aware of), nor is it free.
