No, don't even think of learning CodeIgniter. Besides being pretty much dead (version 3 has been coming out for, what, about 2 years now?), it has terrible architecture. The superglobal singleton is just awful and will kill you slowly.
This. I don't understand why CodeIgniter gets mentioned in the same breath as Zend or Symphony, or any other fully-fledged framework. CI is, to start with, much smaller: it's tiny, the sort of thing you could knock out in a week. It also has deep-rooted architectural issues that are preventing some of the longest standing bugs being fixed (for example, take a look at the router). Lastly it's not anywhere near as modu…
The only reason why I mentioned it is because it's extremely easy - for a beginner, it's not a bad choice because it doesn't overwhelm you. Take baby steps.

#44I wouldn't recommend Zend (I find it rather resource heavy) - but rather Laravel or Symphony, CodeIgniter is also nice and extremely easy to learn - probably the lowest entry level that I can think of, but 2.0 is taking it's sweet time to come along so that's a huge downside, plus, Ellislab wants to sell the project... Regarding CMS work, I have personally found that Magento is one of the best things to specialise in…
What you mean by resource heavy? Symphony at least is one of the heaviest frameworks, and not just for PHP.
I haven't used Symphony personally but always thought it was less heavy, I stand corrected!

where do you live currently?
Re: So you want to be a PHP Developer?
#46If you're going down the Drupal route you're just as likely to need Drupal 6 - one of the challenges in this market is there is a lot of legacy work to be done, so you often have to know two or three versions of the framework. In the "Unicorn skills" section, you're as likely to need cPanel or Plesk as pure Linux skills (although having the latter will make the former much easier). I would also say you'll probably be…
> I would also say you'll probably be using SVN and not git. According to http://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/jobs/uk/php.do these are the number of PHP jobs asking for Git and Subversion respectively in the UK in the past six months: Git: 2244 jobs Subversion: 1559 jobs So no, you're actually more likely to be asked for Git than SVN.
Being that both are popular and it's common to see both, you really ought to know both.

I would suggest you to find a job in Singapore or even Malaysia. Browse http://startupjobs.asia/ and try to apply for jobs in countries around you.
After you have 3 to 5 years experience, try to emigrate to United States, Canada, News Zealand or a couple of good European countries. Germany, The Netherlands and Sweden off the top of my head. In the mean time, try to learn French or Spanish beside improving your English. It will give you much better advantages when you speak different languages.

But then you're better off with something like Silex. It's tiny and easy to pick up, but you're using a solid software and along the way get familiar with Symfony components as well.
