Just came across a couple of great PHP-related articles.
It is a great list of PHP tools including: Debugging tools, Testing and Optimization Tools, Documentation Tools, Security Tools, Image Manipulation and Graphs, PHP Code Beautifiers, Version-Control Systems, PHP Online Tools and Resources, PHP Development Frameworks, IDEs and Editors, Firefox Add-Ons, and a bunch of useful useful extensions, utilities and classes.
