Are you talking in adult or non-adult? For me I charge by the job in the adult industry. I have seen programmers get paid anywhere from $20-$100 an hour based on the position.
I know programmers who do PHP programming that make $100k a year.
If you are talking small odd-jobs in programming the pay is not that much.
