Hmm, not meaning to sound negative but that sounds like a very low salary for what is required.

It is at the lower end and will attract people who are just starting out or just left University.

We are recruiting for a similar role and have had to add 10k to that salary just to attract a reasonable level of candidates. Even then, the pickings are slim with people being hired within 2 days of the CV going up. Very good PHP staff are somewhat in demand - reminds me of Visual Basic programmers about 8 years ago.
