Answer 1

emacs or vim would allow you to do this for most languages. Not really an IDE though.

Answer 2

Take a look at ctags, and e.g. vim. In reality, "ctags" is a gross understatement, as you can generate an index of function and variable "tags" for almost any language.

Answer 3

I prefer to use PHPDesigner which does have a free edition. What you appear to be asking about is called "code completition" which this editor does, along with the ability to right click a custom function and "Go to definition" or hit F1 to view the PHP Manual on that function.

Answer 4

May be Komodo edit ? It's close to Eclipse and Netbeans, but much more simpler. You can go to declaration of function or variable by a custom shortcut key or just CTRL + Click on the desired var/func.
