This may get some money in your pocket starting out: https://www.upwork.com/i/how-it-works/freelancer/

PHP skills are needed on that site quite a bit. It may not be posh but it will get some money in your pocket and give you something to do. Look at ziprecruiter and see if there are any jobs in your area that you would fit. Also check linkedin and see if any of your old workmates can throw you some freelance.

For you or anyone with experience, how many hours can you realistically average working per week and what would the avg hourly wage be? This is all assuming you’re new to the site since that would be the case for OP most likely.

I have tried upWork and have gotten a job from there back when it was called oDesk. But I have not had any luck recently.
