On an aside note, does anyone know any formal qualification you can do in PHP?
The only one worth its weight for me is Zend PHP Certification or ZCE.

LOL ... Can I give you a few name to get you started![]()
I did a few projects in PHP about 6-7 years ago. When I started looking for other work very few companies were looking for php developers, they just wanted something related to MS. Now there are plenty of oppertunities for php developers.
If you follow some of the advice given by other people and get to learn a few frameworks, coding standards etc. you will have a solid platform to have a career in development.
Some interesting suggestions and I'll definitely take a look at them all, I'd rather be over prepared than under prepared.
After about a week now of learning PHP I've finally got enough knowledge to make my first very simple script. It's a 5 question multiple choice script that checks the answers and highlights them according to whether you answered them correctly or incorrectly. Also (I know, I'm a n00b) after much brain scratching I finally figured out how to make a script that displays how many of the answers you got correct.
If you want you can have a look at it here.
Note: The radio buttons come out a little weird in Opera 10.10, but works perfectly in Chrome, Firefox and IE8.
