Suggestion Rrequired for Best PHP Courses

[gulshan212]

Hello this is Gulshan Negi
I am a Software Developer. Well, I know and work with various programming languages now I am looking to learn and enhance my skills in PHP. Can anyone recommend some comprehensive online courses for learning PHP programming language from scratch, that cover topics like server-side scripting, database connectivity, web development frameworks, and best practices in PHP coding?
Well, I'm looking for courses that offer interactive exercises, real-world projects, and opportunities to connect with an online community of learners and instructors.
Thank you in advance for your time & recommendations.

There are a million top lists about that.
I cannot recommend any of this toplists.

There cannot be a "best" course to learn something because everybody learns different and with different techniques.
If you are interested in online video tutorials you should try one of the big online video tutorial websites like udemy, skillshare, linkedin Learning or Coursera.
All of them offer a whole bunch of tutorials, all rated and commented by people. Read what the courses offer and what the people say about it to decide which course to buy.
Or buy multiple to choose yourself. Investing into building your own skills is always worth it.

Or try one of the many free php tutorials to start with. There are so many ressources about php programming available for free, but many are outdated too.
