The question is quite funny, I think you are talking about an on demand software :). Well i think this is almost what you are looking for, unless it's written in JAVA. Written in JAVA doesn't mean u gonna program in JAVA.

He's looking for a PHP IDE. I think he knows that an IDE written in Java isn't necessarily only for programming in Java. I can tell you one reason to avoid an IDE written in Java. The UI tends to be sluggish.

@George I don't know why people still perpetuate the myth that Java is slow. Java is quite fast actually, as fast or faster than C++ most of the times.

@NullUserException I'm speaking from personal experience with the Zend IDE (5.x) and Eclipse. I gave up on both and learned VIM.

@George That's like comparing an Audi with a Yugo

@NullUserException Nah, more like comparing a Lincoln to an Ariel Atom. Bear in mind that there are VIM emulations in various editors. It's no Yugo.

Did you ever try Notepad++?
Notepad++ is a free (as in "free speech" and also as in "free beer") source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several languages. Running in the MS Windows environment, its use is governed by GPL License.
I think it will be helpful to you.

Every features you want, like highlighter, easy code navigation, auto complete, debugging, ftp etc. are available in Notepad++.

Notepad++ is a great text editor, which I use instead of notepad on Windows. I didn't know it supported debugging or auto complete. Are they plugins not included by default? That said, I notice now that it has a plugin for FTP. That's pretty cool.

This won't meet all your requirements, but I doubt you'll find anything for free that will.
It has syntax highlighting and auto complete for the languages you mentioned and a few more. It also provides code folding and may fill your needs for remote/local project management. As for code navigation, it provides VI/Emacs emulation, at the very least.
I haven't tried it, but I have been meaning to do so. Now that Eric C C has reminded in this post, I'm going to download it and finally give it a try. Looking forward to trying the VI emulation.

@chanchal1987 I like it so far. I may actually find myself buying the IDE at some point. Until then, I'm going to put the editor through the paces.

PHPDesigner 7 is really fast. It has everything you are looking for, except IT'S NOT FREE, but it's really worth the money.
I use it on old machines, where others are really unusable. It opens files very quickly and runs smoothly.
It also has source code navigator (shows you an index of the PHP functions, classes, methods and variables you have defined in your current file), and lets you jump from a function call to the definition with Ctrl+click, just like NetBeans and the big ones. It only lacks code collapsing.
Other that I used in the past: Dev-PHP. Written in Delphi, but very fast also. I found some bugs so I left it, but other users in my company didn't had those bugs, so it was probably my installation only... try it yourself.
