Andrew sent over this interesting analysis of salary trends for PHP devs in London, was surprised such detailed info was available. The only prob is the salary data is quite understated in my experience, advanced devs can easily find gigs for £50-70k, but it's certainly true that agencies and often employers do very poor jobs differentiating between mediocre and ninja candidates.

Other details included in the report are things like average max and min salaries, the number of ads matching for PHP developers and a comparison of these to England's results overall.
