Who makes their living with PHP?
Moderator: General Moderators
I worked for a major new media company (now defunct, as you would expect) and a national museum as a PHP developer and web designer.
To be honest, the best way to get a job doing PHP is to get a regular joe typist job and wow them at how you've suddenly made their job process a lot quicker and tidier by implementing a php interface.
Now i have a hugeass office and more time than i could possible want all for developing php stuff.
I'm currently working on prime factors and artificial intelligence with php... No real reasoning behind it other than it sounds neat.

I also work as a php'er in a small (4 employees) web design company where I'm the sole programmer...
And like it was said quite often in the above replies I'm also trying my hand on personnal out of the office work and it's starting to look like something good... No money yet but my name's starting to circulate in the region and since there doesn't seem to be much experienced phpers around my chances are good.
At the office I'm there mainly to maintain our newpapers sites, each site has it's own php interface to update the articles, about half the updates are now directly done by the journalists, the other is still done here by one of our part timers.
Anyway I do hope to make it on my own someday but for now I know I can count on my current job to round out the month's end...

I've worked in the past as webmaster for an online shop with a purely static site. I'd spend hours changing prices by hand every week...
Now I'm teaching myself some php and, with the ability to create dynamic sites, I'm hoping to earn enough to buy a private island and plot to take over the world.
Muhahahahahaha
