The following are five great websites that I have found for freelance work. This is for mostly programming/development, which includes PHP and many other languages.

1) http://www.rentacoder.com

Rentacoder is good place to find small to mid-sized projects for earning extra money. It also offers a rating system which can hurt or help you depending on your work.

2) http://odesk.com/

Odesk is a little bit different than the rest of the sites listed here. Instead of bidding on projects, you bid on hours. Employers can list the amount of hours/week and # of weeks they need out of a potential freelancer.

3) http://www.craigslist.com

Craigslist is great because there is no barrier to entry for either the employer or the potential freelancer/employee (it is also among the top sites on the Internet). This can also be a detriment because anyone with a computer can post a job listing.

4) http://programmermeetdesigner.com/

A unique website that provides an opportunity for programmers to meet and work with designers.

5) http://www.guru.com

Guru.com is a clean and professional website that has lots of large-scale projects. It also has a fairly high barrier to entry for the employers, which usually means better paying jobs.
