Where Are The PHP/MySQL Consultants?

Bryan Kallisti asks: "I'm not a programmer. I do dabble a little bit with PHP and MySQL but I am far, far from an expert. My company is getting ready to implement a project that will tie all our information together with a centralized DB. The consultants that we have talked with are all SQL Server and VB based. I'm pro-open source stuff and want to do what I can to help sway this decision to go Open Source. I have some influence but I am having a difficult time finding consulting groups that focus on Open Source stuff. I did a search on google and only found a handful. What do you guys think would be the best way of approaching this?"
