I also will guarantee my work 100% and I have been coding for around 2 years.

About learning another language first I know some perl, just didnt work in it for a while and prefer not too, additionally php is a simple language but there are topics that start to seperate real php programers from beginers, for example regular expressions complex file handling etc. These topics are not important for your simple sites but get extremely important when your faced with issues like checking to see if a site posted into a tpg is real.. here are some examples

1. Regex to check whether it has several files ending in .jpg, Popup javascripts etc
2. Array and headers to load several of those sites up and indeed check if they are images not redirects.


These arnt neccessary but they do create a much better backend and in the end lead to much less maitanance for the client. Additinally I believe php is faster and uses less resources than other programing languages like perl and yes its easier than perl but this also cuts down on dev time and in the end the client gets a better product for less money.
remember, this isn't a personal attack at you, this is just a broad generalization. to people purchasing services: try to get references, past work experience, etc. the more important and costly the project is, the more you should scout out the best resource you can possibly find.
