phpdesigner has many of the features but the personal version is quite
limited compared to the professional version:
http://www.mpsoftware.dk/phpdesigner.php
I tried out their 2005 version which had lots of features, but when they
moved to 2006 it lost an essential, for me, part of it's functionality the
tabs to spaces feature in the auto formatting and when I looked in their
bugs they claimed to have fixed that whereas it clearly was still broken so
I moved on. Now they have up-revved again to 2007.
I don't now if the class browser has improved but back then it was simply a
view of the names of the classes used in the currently open file showing in
a column on the right. You could click on a class and open it. That's some
help but not a whole lot, specially not when compared to the productivity of
intellisense. Maybe it has improved. I'll never now as there appears no way
to find out without buying.
The integrated browser preview was ok but I never found as useful as an
actual browser and for me it cluttered the interface. If you have all of
heir functionality open at the same time there's no room for the code
window, fortunately you can pick and choose.
The auto-complete functionality is quite cool though.
Here's an editor that you can preview for a month and then have to buy but
there is also a free debugger separately or you get it bundled with the
editor. Looks good but caveat I haven't tried either, yet.

and wouldn't I love a version of intellisense for PHP programming... anyone
know of anything similar?
