Best PHP editor with support for HTML5/CSS/JS
I have been using phpDesigner for a long time, and have been fairly happy with it.
However, the code explore and completion feature is a bit sub-par and doesn't pick up on a lot of classes.
I have been looking for a suitable replacement.
So far I've looked at Eclipse and NetBeans but they both seem to have their shortcomings. For example, I could never get syntax highlighting to work right in Eclipse when PHP is mixed with HTML content, as in templates. Netbeans has better support for remote projects and mixed PHP/HTML, but the autocompletion is a bit off sometimes. The auto formatting also gives me headaches.
What do you guys use?
I am not interested in a lightweight editor, I need full code completion and possibility to debug the code. Windows+Linux preferred, but Windows-only programs are okay.

I use Coda which is probably the best Web IDE on the market, but its Mac-Only.
You could try Kate? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_(text_editor)
Komodo Edit works for me
When I was on Windows I used PhpED:

On Ubuntu I'm running Sublime Text 2 (multi-platform support):
http://www.sublimetext.com/
With Sublime, install "Package Control" and then you'll have access to community addons:
(It's also quite easy to script your own addons via Sublime)

Does it have code completion? Can it show a dropdown of all available methods, variables with correct scope?
Will look at!
This. I was a jEdit user, but Sublime is clean and very good.
@littleguy after seeing Adam post about Sublime, I've just downloaded it.. seems to offer code completion through dropdowns
, no idea how accurate it's gonna be, but looks to be so far so good 
!
@liamwithers download the following packages (essentials):
(You will have to restart Sublime after PackageControl, and then after installing addons)
That should be enough to get you started... Oh, don't forget 'Ctrl + Shift + P'!!!
It may take some time to explore all the features Sublime offers, but it's well worth it!
@littleguy just give it whirl, you won't be disappointed
I typically just work in vi... if I have a large coding project, however, I may use Bluefish (or Notepad++ if I'm stuck with Windows)
Geany?
Ultra Edit Studio http://www.ultraedit.com/products/uestudio/uestudio_feature_map.html
All platforms available. I have been using it for years.

mcedit for linux (part of mc package).
I'm using netbeans so far..
I can definitely recommend Geany as well. I've been using it for quite a while and it works beautifully.
vim
Notepad++ here
Is the only thing that makes me happy lol. It has SFTP, which is my most needed feature. It runs in linux (not always great) with Wine.
PS: sublime has SFTP in Windows now?
@Adam cheers man, installed all of them now
, looks like this could be fun to work with 
. Usually use standard windows notepad (ikr..), but used Dreamweaver a little bit recently just for the autocompletion of stuff.. but think I could migrate to Sublime for good by the looks of things 
. Just hope that the "projects" feature works as nicely as managing sites within Dreamweaver 
There is also PhpStorm ( http://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/ ). It has all the features you describe. Unfortunately, it's not free like some of the examples mentioned here, but it is an excellent IDE.
Notepad++ GEdit Bluefish here
Another vote for Geany. It's not only my PHP editor but my all-purpose, do-everything editor since I moved my environment to Linux.
All packages are multi-OS :P
("SFTP" is trial based, but there is one called "Mote" which is free... Haven't tried Mote though)
@liamwithers I sent you a PM about SublimeCodeIntel (if you're on Ubuntu then you need to follow some steps to ensure it works)
In regards to Geany, I used it for 1year. Nothing but good things to say, but Sublime is just better (for my needs).
Yes, but somewhere I read that it doesn't have SFTP support except on Linux.
Notepad++

Works with the three OS's. On Windows it uses PSFTP, on Linux and Mac it uses OpenSSH
Thanks Adam
I will try it
(isn't any cheap huh)
I work in Komodo. It works just fine for my needs.
Yeah Netbeans has pretty good php editing - though its quite heavy to run
@Adam
Thankyou for introducing me to Sublime. It's amaaaazing o.o
It's now my preferred IDE, cheers!
Aptana Studio 3
It would extremely worry me if it wasn't using OpenSSH on Linux/Mac, its the best SSH client out there, since its also the server most the time too.
I use the default editor in WinSCP, works well
