With a background in HTML, JS, and C (among others), it was extremely easy to pick up PHP (especially with its recent OO style) to write some simple backend database code, and ample resources and open-source programs helped me along the way. Now, I don't know how I ever lived without coding PHP, if only to provide graceful AJAX degradation. Wait, the PHP-JSON extension is invaluable too. Now I'm coding both jQuery and PHP together and it's wild keeping my $'s in order, but that's where the IDE is a lifesaver. The only other server-side language I can think of with such widespread availability might be ASP, and of course MS does not need more of my $$$. More on topic, I prefer Komodo, which long has had great support PHP and jQuery, among a long list of languages - but Aptana seems to be faster on the bleeding-edge iPhone and AIR apps (which I don't quite have a use for yet). Why do bleeding-edge coders love Aptana so much? I have d/led it but haven't had the time to install and learn a new app. @Rodrigo, Joeri

The colorization is much better than it was in previous versions. I haven't really tried out the PHP functionality but PDT does a good job with PHP and will be 1.0 final soon. PHP is far from dead, there are tons of good libraries (simplepie), web apps, and new frameworks available for it. It may not have the buzz it once did, but its still has a lot of new stuff coming out that is awesome.

Then, as they learn more, they can gradually expand the code, until it inverts and suddenly they have a PHP page that uses a templating engine to pull in the HTML, like you would have in "evolved" languages like ruby or python.

It's quite freaky how it can find all the variables in local scope when you're using cakePHP since it's doing a lot of backward includes. also comes with an embedded webserver @fretlessjazz - i've been hearing that for so long but php isn't exactly dieing. obviously it's not the greatest language in the world but it's good enough for websphere and there are more open source solutions coded for that then any other language. php has a bad rap almost purely because its too easy to code in and there is a lot of awful developers and code out there. however with the latest wave of frameworks (cakephp, symphony, etc) this means that even poor programmers can code that is solid and secure. People keep saying it's going to die but it would take another dynamic language thats easy to code in and has massive community support to superseed it and there simply isn't anything else out there anywhere in the same league right now.
