to charge would be great. Thanks
I'm in New Zealand and charge NZ$50/hour as a base rate for PHP web
development. I don't know what that is in your currency, try
www.xe.com/ucc to find out.
That's almost probably as cheap as india.
It's really up to you, though, and how much you value your time. Also
take into account your expertise in PHP and MySQL, and in the problem
domain. If you do not have a lot of expertise in either of those areas
then you may not want to charge as highly.

I agree, it really depends on your (proffessional) experience, and
expertise and even the client. I think I started at 25 euro and for my
last clients I charged somewhere between 75 and 100 euro. I usually
charge more for bigger corporations, because they tend to whine a lot
more, and you'll always end up spending twice as much time as expected.
One thing I learned. It's better to charge 100 dollars per hour and say
you need 50 hours, instead of charging 50 hours and say it will take 100.
