Anything anyone does is for some sort of financial gain, even if
its for free.

It has a lot of market value. Having a sun certification
and trying to get a job writing PHP on a BSD box, isn't going to
have any value whats so ever.
By having a certification of some sort, it helps another person
know that:
1. The person has solid knowledge of what a seasoned community
considers standard.
2. That the person has the commitment to go and understand these
standards and compare himself with them to ensure he is doing
things properly.
3. Let onself know where he/she stands within the standards.
These characteristics are good to have when trying to land a job of
any sort, and can help you get in the door for that crucial
interview.
php|a is a well respected publishing company and have the people
behind it to back it up.
