Cheers for starting this thread and making it sticky Mac 
Hi,
I'm the Principal Developer for a large Mobile Telecoms company in the UK.
Significant experience of PHP from way back when it was PHP/FI, databases, specifically mySQL/PostGres/Oracle/Muscat and a indepth knowledge of *nix systems (Slackware is my choice of distro).
I came through the Basic->Pascal/Cobol->C/C++ route to gain my programming experience and have indepth knowledge of both front-end (GUI) and backend (server-side) development.
Thats me, pleased to meet you all.

Regards,

I've been developing in PHP for over 6 years.
Originally began writing C before University for BBS's.
I develop B2B / workflow / business processing applications, and web frontends for b2b.

I'm Eric, I do scientific research on a bunch of different topics. PHP is mainly for fun outside of work projects. I did do some hacking on an off-site install of sourceforge almost two years ago for about a year. Just finished Master's degree in CS.
Been programming since 2nd grade (text-based, adventure games in BASIC back then), did the whole BASIC->Pascal->C/C++->Java->Scheme->PHP bit. Currently playing with Python for work and fun. Not listing the myriad of other little languange used for just a semester in school. I'm a Debian GNU/Linux person myself. (No I don't normall say GNU/Linux, but the Debian guys like it so if I'm typing the whole thing I'll do it their way...), got tired of being the office expert on MS Office so I hid my skills there and play dumb in Windows.
My main PHP project is CompInaBox and on-line planning/registration service for collegiate ballroom dance competitions. Been trying to motivate myself to finish the web-based configuration tool for a while now, but its un-interesting work... hence I split my time working on designing/implementing a new database system and contributing to existing ones... (They really mess with your head
)
When I'm not working or coding for fun, I'm probably dancing.
I'll most often answer threads that involve sessions, cookies, security, OOP, or database design. I tend to avoid straight PHP questions as I know there are lots of people here who can answer them.

Shawn here.
A fourth-year developer and fourteenth-year Mac geek who started in client-side junk and moved on to PHP and Java a couple years ago. I dropped out of high school, never got a college degree and have moved on to AMP work for the government, and now do web development at IBM Research and also contract doing PHP/MySQL work for random people.
I love telecommuting.
When I stop working for the day? I either program, play video games, make music or read.

I'm a professional web designer/developer currently working for a GIS company in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I'm developing a web based data management system to handle the infamous SRTM project.
I'm a big fan of php, a great hater of ASP, I code by hard rock into the wee hours of the night... or until my g/f tells me to get my ass home to bed.

Noel here.
Started off more as a designer but, after building & running a couple of online shops where I had to change prices by hand every couple of weeks (ouch!) I saw the need for some server side skills and started learning php last year. First php site was hooking up whoownsscotland.net to a database - donations welcome! (I don't gain from this but it's a worthwhile project which will develop over the years: next big thing will be GIS).
Normally I'm working 12-15hr shifts preparing a series of modules I can use on future web sites - forums, online shop and so on.
When I can tear myself away from the puter I'll be up off up a mountain somewhere, or playing flute.
A big thank you to everyone here who helped me when I was getting started with php

I am (the) Daven, currently residing in Blacksburg, home of Virginia Tech and lots of drunk frat-boys.
During my non-coding hours, I like to corrupt innocent youths and do my best to insure the destruction of society (read: I teach martial arts and throw occasional parties which you are all invited to if you can get yourselves to bumf*ck VA).
Oh, yeah: I work as a php-scripter/sys-admin/etc./ and have a degree in Molecular Biology. How's that for a buggered up career choice?

I am the Walrus.
I am Jason Lotito, and downloaded phpBB and stuck it up here. I pretend to know PHP by hanging out with other PHP'ers, because I want to be in with the "in crowd". I use Linux because I don't like installing an OS every three months because of a virus. I have no design skills whatsoever.
I tend not to answer questions because when I go to answer them, someone else has already done that.
I run Mozilla Firebird. Occasionally, I walk IE when I am at my gf's house. My Distro of choice is SuSE, because both it and I have a lizard.
I have my own company ( http://www.ezpaynet.com ) and we are still in development. Um, I guess that's me.
