I just received an initial job offer for a contract position as a PHP developer. I have never had a contract position before, so I don't know what the implications of this are, and how it differs from a salaried position with benefits. =/

What are some things that I should be aware of before accepting the contract position? (i.e. taxes, wages, benefits, etc)

It also mentions that I will sign a "day-to-day contract". What does that mean?
