TextPad is great, I use it for everything, although I'm not sure it's
what the OP was looking for.
To be honest, I don't see the point in a GUI for PHP. I understand your
comparison - I used to like DreamWeaver's suggestions in code view when
you were editing HTML it was handy to give you the properties and such.
PHP however, is a lot more flexible, as you would expect, it being
code and not markup, so I don't see how a GUI could work, there are just
too many possible combinations for the program to 'suggest'.
I'd say do it properly, buy TextPad, and learn PHP, the you're getting
into good habits from the start. :)
