Unless your coding PHP as a life time goal a major business then sure why not, other then that no I feel that way isn't a need. PHP is a hobby not a job the extra money helps out some. Note I've done upfronts before and other times I do it my way it just depends.

There are a couple problems with your post
1. 99% of the projects I do are stuff I already mastered. I don't learn anything form them.

2. Most projects I do have code which is too specific to reuse in another project. They normally don't dump you at the end, so you are suck with a useless half done application. This has happened to me before, more then a year and ive never been able to resell or reuse a single line in it.

3. I don't need another project on my portfolio, it includes all I need to get business.

I program for a living, so my methods have to be more serious then someone who programs for fun. But hobby or not, why shouldn't you use the smartest methods to make money?
