Learning PHP

So as much as I've avoided web development, it's come time that I learn PHP and was hoping someone here could guide me to some nice sites or even a YouTuber that can start me on my journey. Yes, I know Google exists and I'm aware there are probably tons of sites that show you how to do all this, but I'm sure there is someone here that knows of some quality content rather than the stuff Google spits out at you. Thanks in advance!

Yeah I read through it but when it comes to PHP I'm pretty much a blank slate, but at least seeing a layout of a page makes things nice and a bit easier to understand. For what I need I'll also need to be able to make connections with databases (reading and writing) and some simple password encryption. That is definitely a good start. I just wanted to read a whole lot before jumping in over my head.

Yeah true that. The SQL shit is kind of annoying. Password encrypting is simple, just a one liner. I would use salts, since they are more secure with hashing.

Like a simple sha1 hash would be
$salt = "randomstringhere";
$pass = sha1($pass.$salt);

Then wala, an encrypted pass. I still need some refreshing time to time when I do it.. PHP is so disorganized..

Yeah...I really don't like dealing with the web interface but my dad has gotten me to update his website and it's come to the point where I need to build a very simple Content Management System so he can change little things on the site without my help. Going to be a fun/aggrivating couple of days

Sadly you need Ultimate for it to work.

College student ftw. I get VS Professional for free xD

Anyway, I've made quite a bit of progress so far but I need to setup a login system now. Anyone know some good reading about this?

Oh I chose to use PhpStorm as my IDE. It's pretty nice so far, maybe just because I like Jetbrains

Honestly, that IDE looks better than the VS. However, on the VS it is only the free version, not the paid for.. meh. PHPStorm looks great though. I've only done so much with PHP, so I probably won't be able to link proper links. :/
