Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
Cheers, it would be quicker but I have only really started PHP and things so thought it would be good experience to build it from scratch. I'll not charge them for the whole time I spend building it but just wanted a general idea. Cheers again.
Depends on many factors. Where you live, the experience you have, the value you create, the company you work for, etc. For a US developer, maybe $70 - 100/hr?
