I'm looking to hire a solid LAMP developer for some part-time work. If you've got good experience (Solid OOP, framework experience, SQL/MySQL experience), and have some time available for part time work, please let me know.

Just saying, it might help if you provide more details, not so much on the project itself, but what skills are required explicitly. Anyone nowadays can say they have OOP, framework, and mysql experience when all they know is how to setup framework and write a bunch MVCs that are loosely tied together.

Sorry, thanks for the input.

I'm looking for someone to do some work for me around $40/hr, perhaps a tiny more depending on experience. I have at least 100-200 hours of work available. I wrote a system in PHP that I want converted to OOP. I tend to do most of the database schema design (I know MySQL very well) but it'd be good if the individual can write their own queries, especially scalable queries (which I can help with). I like simple frameworks, like Code Igniter, and it's important that the person write clean code (OOP when appropriate, MVC when appropriate). Procedural code doesn't scare me when used in certain situations. The second project (which is includes in those hour estimates) would involve some PHP coding for my website... pretty simple stuff. The third project (includes in those estimates) would be a new site which I have not written any code for, so front end experience would be a plus.

Sounds like fun. How many hours a week would you expect said developer to work on your projects?

Up to the developer, really. If they can give me 10 hours/week, I'd throw multiple projects at them. If they have less time, I'd probably just assign them one project.

Depends on rate, too.
