Ha, I’m certified(now also in the physical world).
Zend, the people that initially started with the Zend Engine and started the whole PHP revolution, provides certification for programmers all over the world to be able to get Zend Certified!!
Last year(29 September 2004) I took up to the challenge and took the exam, and past with flying color(actually they only say pass) Last month I received the proof, a certificate(already framed by Zend) and a product CD, and some cool stickers and a nice letter congratulating me on my accomplishment.
I was the fourth person in South Africa to be certified ( link here ) as a Zend PHP Certified Engineer.
I also received an email from the people at Zend giving us the rights to use a special logo, cause we are one of the first 1000 PHP ZCE..
