I don't have fancy accounting like Chris, but I can tell you that I have 
been in a hiring position before and have paid twice the rate you are 
seeing. The terms of the contract were slightly different (not quite 40 
hours/week, but the length was longer). For a solid PHP developer with a 
graduate degree you should be getting more.

By the way, shouldn't the recruiter be able to answer that question the 
best? It's their job to get people the best they can.
