What would you recommend I exchange for php programming service?

Author: I am incorporating an business that will have a lot to do with backend stuff like php/mysql. I have enough experience to make the page look pretty and enough to do basic forms, but I need someone with additional php knowledge for more advanced applications. If I am just beginning this venture, what would you recommend I exchange for a person to be my "head webmaster" of sorts? A % of profit, stock….? Keep in mind that I am low on capital.

Most good PHP developers are going to ask for something in the range of $30 – $50 an hour… I would suggest making contact with a few, but wait until you have a project to bid on until you bring them in. Then use their rate as your base when bidding on the project.
the other answer is a good one. another thing is if it’s just a every now and then thing..ask other companies in your area if they use contract programmers. (or look up contract programmers in your area). when you have a project to work on do the same thing other companies do. take bids on the project from several contractors, pick the one that’s right for you (and your budget) if you pay for the project you don’t have to give up any profits…just pay the bill and you’re done with it.
