A person running a business may charge more than that... I've gotten quotes as high as $200 an hour for php work.
Let's reverse tracks... I just went to PayScale.com and put in PHP Developer, in my city, 10 years exp, no college as many aren't college educated and only dev in php - and are American.
The salary range is $36k-$78k, with no education and with a Master in Science added, the average is $90k. I'm sure in areas such as LA/NYC, etc the range is higher but those for sure don't represent the rest of America.
