It varies from around $10/hr to $125/hr, depending on location, 
experience, quality of their coding and about 50 different things.  You 
have a choice of:

1) Cheap
2) Fast
3) Quality

Pick any one.

Generally fixing someone else's poor PHP code is more expensive than 
doing it right the first time.

And BTW - very little of the PHP work I do is local.  And I almost never 
have to meet with customers face-to-face, even when they are local.
