5. MySQL Administrator
4. Zend Framework
3. LPI 1
2. MySQL Developer
1. PHP 5.3

Not something we consider in our hiring process. They're expensive and don't most people feel they provide little benefit. You need to know the material, but the certificate itself is of questionable value.

A Zend Certification is the only thing I might care about, but ditto to what Celauran said: it's just not a factor. Mostly it tells me that someone knew about the certification itself and spent the time (and money) to get it - which isn't worthless, but other things like personality and attitude are more important.
The development world focuses a lot more on knowledge and experience and much less on formal qualifications than other industries do.
