It would most likely benefit all if the questions/situations/reviews
were based on very contemporary (if not forward looking) programming,
i.e. the cert would be heavily weighted towards security,
state/cookies/sessions, database related, file handling and uploads, and
internet/SOAP/CURL. 

Maybe a rough categories breakout might look like this:

 5 % -- Package(s) and install
 5 % -- PHP .ini 
15 % -- Security 
20 % -- Functions 
25 % -- Classes
 5 % -- Error Handling 
 5 % -- RegExp
10 % -- PEAR/PECL
 5 % -- Version Control

Hi gang:

It would be nice to be a certified programmer -- I'm certified in 
other professions and it helps somewhat.

However, the problem as I see is two-fold:

1. What's required to become certified (obvious);

2. What are the qualifications of the governing body and its 
industry's support (not so obvious).

First, we need to establish a charter and solicit member 
participation. Then with numbers comes the authority to establish 
acceptable and proper criteria for certification.

Cheers,

tedd
