I have been asked to look in toprogramming a PHP system for someone, and
while I have been programming for a while this will be the first time
it will be for someone other then a friend. Just wanted to get some
ideas on how much you charge for program PHP/Mysql. Any ideas on how
to charge would be great. Thanks
I found this to be an interesting read... while it doesn't specifically address your question, it covers a lot of consulting related issues (hourly, fixed bid, client management, etc.)
It's worth spending the time to read...
