ZulfadlyAshBurn Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 1) it means that you have successfully created a php website with people paying you for the functionality and design of the site. 2) Learn how to code in php. Find peoples who need help in making a website and create it for them with a small amounts. it could be your friends or family. that's how you earn it. usually they would ask for your portfolio, so you must not forget to create a portfolio for yourself.

aj123cd Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 I have created a website that includes, user registration, user email validation, contact form, product details, user browsed items, shopping cart and pay by PayPal. Once PayPal has confirmed the payment, send the invoice to buyer, sales details to admin, print invoice; confirm product dispatch and in a week, send Customer Satisfaction Survey & Customer Service Action Form. In admin side error report; produced, who is online, produce statistics for most viewed product, geographically based viewed user details and product details, PayPal refund. Sales details charts. I have down this work for my next door neighbour and he has been running this site for 6 months. When I spoke to one of the job agency for junior php developer, she told me that this is not commercial experience, The work I have down, is it related to commercial experience? If not please give me more details. Thank you for all your help.

markjoe Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I'd guess it just means you've done php work for profit or as a job. They are not interested in somebody who added a few "cool features" to their WoW guild site. Commercial experience, not personal.

requinix Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 They are probably referring to e-commerce experience. Which is what you did. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/249765-what-is-php-commercial-experience/#findComment-1282159 Share on other sites More sharing options...

salathe Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 1. What does it means ? Commercial experience is time spent working and being paid for it, e.g. going to work and writing code. If you have ever worked as a PHP developer and gotten a pay cheque then it is commercial experience. Making an "e-commerce store" for your mom's friend's auntie's neighbour's cat's kitten does not count. Making an amazing blog and selling it on Ebay does not count. Writing the most amazing site in the world, in the evenings before bed, does not count. 2. How can I gain commerical experience? Get a job.

ZulfadlyAshBurn Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Then maybe you are not qualified for the job? Do you have enough experience to get into that particular company? Why not choose other job Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/249765-what-is-php-commercial-experience/#findComment-1283105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj123cd Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Rather than trying to kiss someone’s ass, I have decided to let everyone come and kiss my ass.
