PHP program ideas? what should I teach? *I KNOW PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING*?

Nobody knows everything, but I'll humour the question. There's always something else you can learn or improve upon so I'd look at ways of expanding your own understanding. If you really can be considered an expert then the next logical step would be to look at ways of improving performance, you could approach the idea from a low level by looking at the interpreter and your server configuration or at a higher level by assessing best coding techniques. If you're going with the teaching angle think about this: There are many examples of how to accomplish various tasks but not enough sites focus on the pitfalls. PHP can be completely unrestricted and this kind of control in the hands of less informed developers and enthusiasts means there are a lot of potentially insecure sites out there. Develop a guide to best practices. Failing that, why not start developing your own framework - better yet start contributing to the vast array of open source projects already out there.

Always fun to include a little bit of image twiddling. Say, a PHP script that generates a banner image where you can give it x/y offsets and image URL to fetch in, or font style and text to print, etc., and it composes the image (fetching external images from their URL if needed) and serves it up as a single PNG. Have it process a control code that tells it what to do … like, banner is x,y in size; then put image [URL] at x,y, and text “text” at x,y in font style, etc. The control code should be base-64 encoded and put at the end of the URL, after a forward slash. I.e. /banner.php/controlcodegoeshere Anyway, if you could, when you get something online, could you please e-mail me the URL? I’d love to see what sort of stuff you’ve done, or whatever tutorials you did. You can click my profile and there will be a link to send me an e-mail.

How about how to make a wordpress theme from scratch (you could start with child themes though)? There doesn't seem to be much info about how to make wordpress plugins either. I'm still learning php myself, but I know wordpress themes is one of the things I want to get good at.
