the minimum and maximum a person can charge for php development work

$minimum_rate=(60*60)/time(); //minimum rate, from seconds
$maximum_rate=1/$minimum_rate; //maximum rate

You get to pick your own currency. Custom has it not to charge for development work undertaken to answer questions at WebmasterWorld...

Can you provide me the value in say like this $4 per hr, $8 per hr or so.
If its not possible to mention in webmasterworld then plz sticky me.

Thanks.

ashish21cool, sorry if I wasn't clear in my previous message.

60*60/time() is currently about 0.00003, and 1/ that is about 330,000. By which I meant - there is no maximum rate nor is there a minimum rate. There is no union of PHP coders which sets industry standards - rates are as high as the client agrees to pay and as low as the programmer agrees to go.

From a personal point of view, I have written PHP for as little as $0.00/hour for a friend, and for $500+/hour in other situations.

Needless to say, hourly rates are largely meaningless. I'd be happy to pay $100/hour+ for a good PHP coder, whilst I'd not want to be paying more than $5/hour for a poor one.

. . . and again it depends on where you are located and which market you are in.

you can charge whatever someone is willing to pay

small or large business makes a difference. Maybe a better way to say that is the size of their budget is the most valuable information you can have when quoting.
