The editors that I usually use are Textpad and Jedit. I usually use Textpad
as it's my favorite editor. Jedit is very similar to Textpad which is why
it's my second favorite editor. The bonus of using Jedit is that it's
written entirely in Java so it also runs in Linux (quite well too). You can
download them both here:
http://www.textpad.com/
http://jedit.sourceforge.net/
They both provide color syntax highlighting for PHP (as well as just about
everything else) and both have loads of extra features (much like those of
UltraEdit). So if this is the sort of editor you're looking for these are
both worth a look see.
As far as Linux goes, Jedit is the only editor I've been able to find that
compares against something like Textpad or UltraEdit.
