Narrative:
During a phl departure push, the tower departed an mxe propeller, air carrier X, on the standard 300 degree heading and a ptw jet departure on the SID (255 degrees). I thought I climbed the crj, air carrier Y, to 10000 ft (I did not) and the propeller, air carrier X, was left climbing to 5000 ft. With the thought that the crj, air carrier Y, was climbing to 10000 ft, I turned him on course to ptw (approximately 350 degrees). The 2 aircraft both leveled at 5000 ft. Conflict alert activated, I climbed the crj to 10000 ft and issued the DH8 traffic. The DH8 reported the crj in sight, and I then notified the 'supe' and continued to work the position.

Title: PHL APCH CTLR EXPERIENCE OPERROR WITH 2 DEPS BECAUSE A NECESSARY CLB CLRNC WAS NEVER ISSUED.
Narrative: DURING A PHL DEP PUSH, THE TWR DEPARTED AN MXE PROP, ACR X, ON THE STANDARD 300 DEG HDG AND A PTW JET DEP ON THE SID (255 DEGS). I THOUGHT I CLBED THE CRJ, ACR Y, TO 10000 FT (I DID NOT) AND THE PROP, ACR X, WAS LEFT CLBING TO 5000 FT. WITH THE THOUGHT THAT THE CRJ, ACR Y, WAS CLBING TO 10000 FT, I TURNED HIM ON COURSE TO PTW (APPROX 350 DEGS). THE 2 ACFT BOTH LEVELED AT 5000 FT. CONFLICT ALERT ACTIVATED, I CLBED THE CRJ TO 10000 FT AND ISSUED THE DH8 TFC. THE DH8 RPTED THE CRJ IN SIGHT, AND I THEN NOTIFIED THE 'SUPE' AND CONTINUED TO WORK THE POS.
