Is it possible to learn PHP online?

[MasterA]

I am interested in learning PHP. Is it possible/easy to learn PHP online? How much learning will it take to be able to create a basic website or CMS using PHP?

I assume you already know HTML, so you can incorporate it. PHP isn't as scary as many believe that it is. W3 Schools offers basic tutorials on PHP and TheNewBoston YouTube channel have a 200 episode PHP tutorial, linked below. Just get a VPS - or any server, even if it's small, and start playing around with it. Won't be long until you get to grips with the language. 😛

Remember that PHP is extremely popular and powerful, so you will find tutorials with ease.

Hello,

sure! I would suggest you CodeAcademy 🙂
=> https://www.codecademy.com/learn/php

I have followed it as a php-developer (I already knew things) and I must admit it is quite good.. it is absolutely a good point to start!

As Translations Cloud said, Codeacademy is the best place to learn. Remember: Don't start learning before you visit in Codeacademy. It would be really painful to "learn" the basics if you remember them clearly 😀 I did it, and that was a bad mistake.

Are you kidding or do you really mean the topic name? Please tell me that you are kidding and that this topic is just for SEO D:



Q: How much learning will it take to be able to create a basic website or CMS using PHP?
A: 3-10minutes of learning, 30min-1h to create a complete forum (without security, pretty basic with usergroups, edit, posts, plug-ins, usercp, admincp, etc).

Here is a professional programmer test: If you understand this joke, you pass!

I learned PHP online and it's simple. Start with the basics then build 2 - 5 small PHP application. Learn OOP (PHP 7+ OOP) and then build 1 application. You will soon discover the MVC design pattern (and others). Build your own to learn it then learn about frameworks like laravel / symfony. Again build an application. At this point, you had either moved onto a new language or you will be thinking about an application that you want deploy.

Yes, you can for sure learn PHP online as that is the way i learned it.
As someone already mentioned, the new boston is a very good place to start.

You can also buy a book and learn PHP and MySQL!

 

[gamestoenjoy]

Yes for sure!
I learned PHP by myself only from tutorials that I found.
For me it took one month till I was able to do complex tasks with PHP.

Is it possible to buy bread at a bakery?

 

[Netscaux]

Yes, you've just got to know where to look.

 

[Thomasss]

Anything is possible if you're motivated to actually learn it. I tried and I just didn't have it in my to actually learn PHP. It's like learning another language almost, just without the grammar part of it. 😛

 

[Cosmic]

Nope, it's impossible to learn PHP online. Can't be done. You have to go to a four-year institution and get a master's degree. Preferably a doctorate too.

 

[showcrit]

I think you can and I encourage you to do so! Cause if you have real interest this is something you probably won't learn in school. Go for it!

 

[Cybo]

Should be easy enough. There's a lot of sites with free, quality video tutorials out there, as well as interactive resources where you code while you learn (Codeacademy comes to mind).
