@Rahul: Eclipse and NetBeans - and possibly Komodo too (I'm not quite sure) - are [IDE](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_development_environment)s like Visual Studio, just for PHP (and some other languages, like C/C++ and Java), and they do much more than a simple text editor would do.

I guess, this similar question will help you further.
I myself use Eclipse IDE for PHP, Perl, Java and Javascript development.

Linux / Bash / Any old editor. Not the easiest combo but certainly the best way to learn. Remember that PHP is only one layer in the application stack, if you want to be a good programmer you need to understand as much of it as possible.

I've been using these set of tools for years.
- Eclipse (classic version will do).
- PHPEclipse plugin (enables an easy PHP development)
- XAMPP-lite (comes with Apache, MySQL, PHP, PHPMyAdmin - pretty much all other tools you need to get started)
- Aptana CSS + HTML plugin for Eclipse
A nice thing about the above setting is that they are all integrated into Eclipse. I've tried other tools too, but it's very hard to change from these.

I daily use Zend Studio and think it is a good solution because of SVN, PHPUnit, ZendDebugger and Profiler integration. The SVN integration allows you to fully integrate your projects on your SVN server, along with the project configuration (newline delimiters, default text encoding, code format (should I put brackets in front of the condition or below it?), etc.).
If you're using a Mac, TextMate seems to be an excellent solution too. Look at Symphony tutorials, they're using it and seems awesome!

I use UltraEdit, its a great text editor but its not free. It works with a few OS's also.
