Advanced/Enthusiast/Pro
  • Notepad++ (For people who doesn't want pirated materials, yet can't afford proprietary softies)
  • Macromedia/Adobe Dreamweaver - What I love about this is that it supports multiple programming languages (although not as vast compared to NPP), and it also has a mini-reference for most PHP functions (press SHIFT-F1).

Good Luck!
