Hi there,
has someone ever taught of this question ? " WHAT QUALIFIES SOMEONE TO BE A PHP PROGRAMMER, WHAT QUALIFIES YOU. TO BE ??? "

this should be in the general forum IMO ...

well first off all comprehensive knowledge on the subject i suppose ....

oh really ???

yes. do you not agree perhaps?

Well i do man.. hey let me remind you the Editor of a thing u recommendd me to download.. it didn't work out..

Taught? Or thought?

As for the question at hand... not sure.

Uche,
I don't know what your motives are but a flame thread isn't going to do you any good. Just because someone suggests a solution and it doesn't work out doesn't mean that the person or solution isn't a reputable choice for your problem.

Now that we have that out of the way. I think you can be a "programmer" with no real knowledge other than self teaching. Your ability to find work and attract clients is proof of web design profiency. Whether or not you think I am a good programmer or not doesn't really matter in professional terms. Its what my clients have experienced that will give way to success. Sure on this board popularity may be defined by what you can prove or how you get along but unless we take action on our own to find a market that popularity means nothing.

My 2c.
