How Can I Start Learning PHP Development?

PHP

Hi everyone,

I want to learn PHP development and start building web applications. Can anyone guide me on where to start? Are there any recommended tutorials, resources, or courses that would be great for beginners?

Thanks in advance!

Somewhat outdated, but still one of the best ways to take your first steps

I find the best way to learn a language is to think of something you want to do, then sit down and write it. Sure, you need to get a grasp of the language to start with, but I learn much more when I’m trying to do something rather than just the exercises on a tutorial site or (back when I was trying to learn stuff) in a book.

Answer the question with a question:

What have you done so far programming wise?

It would be helpful to give recommendations based on knowing your level of general programming background (If, for example, someone’s new to PHP but has done C# or Python, the “A variable is…” bit can be skipped straight to the “heres how you declare a variable”)
