Start looking for a new job discreetly. If you need extra money and they're not willing to give you a raise or let you work on a side project, it's definitely time to move on. It's understandable if they don't want you to take contract work, but banning side projects is a bit extreme. I'm not familiar with the job market in London, but companies are definitely hiring PHP developers.
Not sure if you're familiar, but there's a "Who is Hiring?" post at the beginning of every month[1] which you should definitely take a look at. Keep an eye out for remote jobs, too.
How experienced are you?

- anondev 14y agoThanks for the link, but sadly there's no one in London looking for PHP devs from that list (checked this year's) - it makes me think my side projects should be ruby / python focused... I've been playing with code since I was 12, mostly HTML5, CSS3, JS, PHP, SQL, because that was easiest to approach, now almost 2 years commercial experience working in agency with these technologies. I understand it's not enough to work for one of the big players, but I think I'd be most happy in a small agency where I could work on side projects to learn other technologies :)
