TapeGun007 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 It depends on what your background is. Have you coded in ANY language prior to trying to learn PHP? Have you programmed any databases like Access, or mySQL? What exactly do you want to do? Are you looking at just learning how to code just the backend of a website, or do you want to code an entire website?

NotionCommotion Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) I think your list is pretty good. You will learn more as you go on. A couple items to add. Composer (look into right now) Template engines such as Twig (look into right after you have made a few simple pages) PHP configuration (when things don't work, you will need to know why) Apache, nginx, etc. Documentation (never too early) Unit testing (I still need to do) Security (look into before you go production, and even sooner so you form good habits) Command line uses Various 3rd party libraries (as needed) Edited January 14, 2017 by NotionCommotion Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/302924-best-steps-to-learn-php/#findComment-1541389 Share on other sites More sharing options...
