As an art director and graphic designer I always followed the advice of other professionals I admired who said "Never put anything in your portfolio that you wouldn't want to do every day. Somehow, someway that's what you will most likely be asked to do." It's the same for skills, I never liked working in Flash or Quark so I never stated them on my resume. Do I know how to work and design with them — yes, but I would be miserable working in Flash on animated banner ads for soap every day no matter how much they paid me.
What's that have to do with php? If you like it, learn it and look for projects that require php. I would strongly suggest that if you're looking to add it to your toolbox because "There's a lot of work out there for it." don't. You'll regret it. Good luck.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
