Hi Joel,
Certifications are good for your resume, and are a method to assure (to
yourself as well as to others) that you know what you think/claim that you
know...
I think that setting a standard is required. Otherwise anyone who managed to
open a connection to a database would call himself a PHP programmer...
That's it...
Besides, to keep PHP an evolving technology someone has to sponsor Zend's
development team. ;o)
David.

*If* it's well done, it has value to me as a developer.
I'm completely self-taught, as many web dev folks are. A formalized cert
might be a way for me to assure *myself* that there aren't whacking
great holes in my knowledge. Of course, it would have to be better than
getting a couple books and reading them for myself.
