Interesting. We're located in [not very large, but high tech/internet
concentration] Charlottesville, Virginia and there's a pretty significant
demand for PHP-based apps and websites. Then again, our target market is
small/medium businesses and small internet startups and after assessing a
client's needs, working with them to define a solution and developing a
proposal that nearly always uses LAMP the clients rarely care what we use as
long as we deliver. Sure, larger, stodgier corportate clients with IT
departments are more resistent to utilizing PHP and open source technology
for their enterprise solutions, but they aren't the only customers out
there.

Odd. My search on monster.com for "php" turned up 324 listings. I *wish*
there were less - we have listings 135 and 136 and have not found the right
candidate yet.
