Netbeans provides a good integrated development environment, CodeLite, Eclipse.
If you don't know any of them, learn PHPStorm. It is not free. It's worth the investment. Anything else is something less, substantially less, and probably so much less that your competitors who use PHPStorm will run rings around you.

A Google search for PHP IDEs will turn up Komodo, Eclipse, etc. All of them are good; none of them are as good as PHPStorm. The costs and terms of use vary. Your circumstances matter. Are you a non-profit? A student? A government? These factors affect whether your license is cheap or free.

FWIW, I have not used a free IDE in more than a decade. This is a mature field, and in my experience, you get what you pay for, and if you insist on "free" then you may find yourself falling behind.
