Is it worth it? Of those that have it did you find it useful in the day to day job or was it something more for the CV and career enhancement?

I'll pop this over to I.T. Certification but the feedback I've received on php certs is the Zend cert is one to have.

I did it when I was self employed to keep the parents happy and I'm still self employed! Never actually applied to a job so don't know what it's worth.

Exam itself is good enough, stuff I'd be using everyday like xml and stuff like that. Definitely better than the 4 MySQL ones which could be combined into one exam, each exam about 200 euro, MySQL is money making scam. I did the first one and stopped.

But as with everything else in IT, real world experience is sooo much better.
