Skills Required for PHP Developer?

Hello there, i am coding mostly on php, i love CI . CI is the best of the best, it gives you the basic tools to create the world again!.
i learn from youtube, there are some video tutorials about PHP and Codeigniter.
If you want to learn fast you have to have a "project target" like for ex. "i want to create a portfolio website" so if you have a target you have to find what you need for it etc .

BUT 1st of all you have to like coding becasue if you dont like you will get bored soon
