Millions of pounds worth of bookings going through it. 100% PHP and Postgres. I work freelance, from home. I'm not writing this to show off, I'm simply saying that don't think you'll never get large clients if you only use PHP - it's simply not true. The work is out there if you've the contacts to find it (and the skills to do it of course!)
