Hello HN, Long time lurker here. I'm an online marketeer. For a while now I'm a hobbyist PHP dev. I enjoy it a lot, but obviously my experience is limited. I've created some small projects in object oriented PHP.

Anyway, i'm thinking about trying to get a job as a junior PHP dev. What skills do you think are necesarry to succeed? It's probably a bit hard to put in text - I mean, how do you quantify the skill level you need? Still i'm very curious what you think.

By the way, I've always coded solo. So no experience in working in a team of devs. Also, i've never worked on a project that I didn't start myself. So no experience in working in an existing code base. Do you think that's a problem?

Thanks! Imperistan
