I would love to chat for you for a little wile.
I am a php coder with more than five years of experience, but, besides, i am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science (i have a Ph.D. degree in CS), and, i would love to teach not just how to code a simple gateway to a mysql server, but how to deal with the real meat of programming (i mean, design the information flow into a OOP system).
Please contact me for further information.
