ActiveState's Komodo ( http://www.activestate.com ) is very good. It
handles Perl, PHP, HTML, XML, Python, and a whole lot of other things
too. It does Perl and PHP debuggin, which is a godsend.

I *think* it's about $25 for a 'home' type of license, which covers you
for making open-source stuff. Otherwise you need a commercial license.

I know a lot of people kick up a stink about non-free software, but
ActiveState are pretty good as companies come, and Komodo really is
cool. It's based on Mozilla, and cross-platform ( a little - Win32 and
Linux, no OS-X ).

Otherwise, there's bluefish ( gtk2-based ) , which does a very nice job
of syntax highlighting etc, and it's open-source. I used it for ages
until I decided a needed a debugger that didn't suck.
