Once you've got some solid PHP under your belt, the biggest thing is going to be a GitHub account. With PHP programming, you can't show off all the great code you wrote to make your website work well - you can only show that code by showing the code. This is pretty different from front-end developers, whose code is visible, and whose product is the visible website itself.
If you're not familiar with git yet, I highly recommend getting started learning it. It's very useful, and everyone in tech uses version control, so it's a great skill to have. There's a good course here on Treehouse to get you started.
Good luck!
