Eh?
FP is an OK HTML layout tool and upload thingy, but 'managing' your site?
I'd look for a lot more functionality, and probably using multiple tools.
First, you shouldn't be using the same tools for developing your PHP and
doing your layouts - although TBH most templating systems don't really make
it easy for designers to create templates.
Code editing and editors is argued about a lot - you might try
http://www.php-editors.com/ for some reviews. I'd definitely recommend
Firefox with the web developer toolbar and Venkmann for testing the pages
and developing javascript.
As to publishing....well there's lots of tools - I even wrote one myself in
Perl (see http://pushsite.sourceforge.net/readme.html#if for pushsite and
some other similar tools). But a better way to manage the files is via a
clustering system (rsync, AFS ....)
For analyzing the traffic, I tend to use AWStats.
That just leaves monitoring tools....but there's not a lot of choice out
there, and most aren't really worth the money either.
