I’m thinking about switching from just using a text editor to an IDE, but I need some help. I went to the Zend web site and became thoroughly confused. So many versions. With and without Eclipse. (I’ve never used Eclipse, either.)
Help me out here. What package(s) do I want and why? Download Eclipse separately? Multiple versions of that, too. TIA.

I use Eclipse with the PHPEclipse. I use Eclipse daily, and I love it. Here is a bookmark that I have that I used to get you going. Step by Step. (Versions may vary a little, but his should walk you right though)
