Sublime Text Editor

I would recommend vim ;)

However, as you didn't state what you wanted from an editor, have you looked at this list

I like SciTE, which has highlighting for PHP and many other languages.

E Text Editor

I've been using crimson editor for simple text editing and my first editor for stuff on PHP. It is definitely lightweight IMO although i don't think it is as powerful as Notepad++ and it is a bit outdated as its last release was in May 2008 but i still use it for simple stuff mainly because it is starts quickly as compared to the IDEs i use.

Auto-Completion is a feature in text editors which the text editor drops some hints to the variables/function names when you start to type. Very much like in browsers when you want to type in the address and it gives you the list of addresses in the history that matches whatever you have typed.

Geany does the job for me in Windows and Linux. And I also like InType, although I believe that its abandoned already.

I used UltraEdit for several years, before i switched to gvim
They are both excellent lightweight editors.

Although vim or emacs have steep learning curves and are not for everyone.

As far as heavyweight editors goes be sure to check out eclipse with pdt
