I use Enginsite PHP Editor, which has a hint function upon pressing Control 
+ Space. A real autocomplete would be much nicer, but that is asking a bit 
too much for a PHP IDE under 100$. I tried the Eclipse based PHP IDEs and I 
somehow don't like it. It is really obvious that Eclipse wasn't designed 
with PHP in mind. I like Zend, but that is by far too expensive for hobby 
use...at least for me.
