Hi guys,
I was wondering about what I exactly I need to learn to become a PHP developer, I can guess that I need to know PHP, MySQL, HTML and CSS but what else would I need to learn?
Any advice would be appreciated :)
Thanks, Adam

A little while back I answered another student's question concerning if you can become employed after learning all of the PHP Treehouse has to offer. I think my response should help you with your question as well. Take a look at the post here: https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/can-you-be-employable-as-a-php-developer-after-finishing-the-php-track and see if this can shed some light on the topic.
Cheers!

Thanks for the advice! I've seen a lot of PHP jobs which involve using Symfony so it definitely sounds like one I will learn.
