In search for an adept PHP programmer

I'm in search for a competent PHP programmer. OOP is a requisite. None of this I'm learning OOP, I do OOP sometimes, my younger sister says OOP is bad. If you fall under any of those then you clearly do not understand the reasoning behind OOP and/or are simply learning it (fair play to you and best of luck with it - TalkPHP is for you !)

Kind note: Programmer not a scripter. Please take note. There is a difference.

As this project will require a significant load on the database, you'll be required to have a good comprehension and appreciation of query optimisation and other fundamental concepts of databases. MySQL will be the querying language and so I'm sure most of you are there now shouting, "me, me, me". Possibly you, but please, no beginners.

If you're a regular visitor to this and other forums that I'm on, you'll know Wildhoney. I'm an advanced programmer myself and I realise your time is precious. The budget is therefore whatever you want it to be. I'm not too particular. Give me a quote, show me some examples of your work and I'll consider

Another Note: Examples means also sending over examples of your work so I can browse the PHP code. Basic Javascript will more than likely be required, but if you're a good enough programmer to meet the PHP and MySQL parts of the project, then being comfortable with Javascript would typically come naturally.

Please email me your examples and quotes to my email address: adam.timberlake@gmail.com. People who do not follow these basic instructions, I'm afraid, will automatically be thrown head first into the trash can (the bin for your Brits!).

Much appreciated and thanks for taking the time to read through carefully.
