- use proper code indenting to make your code readable
- document your code with phpDocumentor or other
- use meaningful variable and function names
- use an editor with syntax highlighting to help find any unbalanced quotes
and parentheses before running the script
- if something does not work like expected: use a debugger to inspect your
variables at every execution step, IMO a must for serious programming
- get used to a version control system early, you will populate your file system
with test1.php, test2-old.php, test2-1.php and so on not knowing what you will need
later and what to delete

This was the easy advice, now the difficult:

- break down a problem into smaller 'working units' using functions and objects
- design your functions (and methods) to work on data passed in by parameters, the
benefits will be better isolated testing, and reuse of code
- test your code after every logic step
- work on your understanding of the whole system: client browser, IP (address, ...),
TCP (port, SSL, ...), DNS, HTTP (headers, ...), HTML, CSS, JavaScript, web server
settings, PHP settings, logging, ...

There is a reason why good programmers can ask for high hourly rates.
