I've never paid a php programmer a $100k a year, I've never had a php coder even ask for that much, or even close to it. Even the top skilled guys, multiple languages, administrators as well don't ask for $100k a year.

We can find them being paid all over, under and over paid, etc.. but not by 100% of the money they should earn.
If you're talking about a full-time employee, $100K comes to approx. $48/hour. A LOT of PHP programmers charge more than that. Of course, some will lower their rate for the security and benefits of a salaried position, but it's not uncommon as you think to find guys who ONLY do PHP/MySQL all day long getting 6 figure salaries. Adult is cheap, mainstream and gaming industries pay extremely well.
