I think another valid question to ask yourself is do you want the client who is
impressed by a certificate. Looking at the sample exam, what the test shows is
that you have an in depth knowledge of the type of information contained in the
PHP manual. Basically it tests syntax and vocabulary. It doesn't mean that you
can actually program in PHP, or any other language. You can't test for that for
PHP or any other language, including Java. Language certifications are a joke.
Spend your energies getting to know the language better. Write more code. In the
long run you'll serve your clients' interests better, and that is always good
for business.
