There is a whole list on http://phpeditors.linuxbackup.co.uk/
Try Vi IMproved.  It has syntax highlighting which can even handle HTML,
PHP and SQL inside strings all in the same file!  It has command line or
graphical modes.

nedit is another worth trying.

For nedit you will also want the PHP3+HTML highlighting patter at:

Emacs works wonderfully, with C-mode or HTML-helper-mode.
jEdit (http://jedit.org/) is a freeware Java text-editor that runs on 
Win32 and Linux (and any platform that runs Java).  It's got great 
syntax hilighting and a TON of other features.  It supports plug-ins 
(that you can get from within jEdit)
On the graphical side you may like Kate, with colorcoding and block
collapsing. And under wine you can run windows' ultraedit.
