Hello.
I studied PHP a long time ago, I started by viewing the PHP Specialist course, then I began to read the book by Mett Zandstra, but due to the fact that I stayed on a desert island without the Internet for half a year (I'm not kidding), and there was no way to ask on the forum, I made some crutches. As time went on, PHP 7 came out, full-featured type-hinting, return type hints, and other innovations appeared, and I remained at the level of Mett Zadnstra's unread book for PHP 5.2.
The question arose: how to resume learning, but use all the new features, and not continue to read about the God-forgotten PEAR? Where can I find the latest literature? Whose video tutorials to watch, even from the very beginning level, but taking into account all the innovations of PHP 7?
Thank you.

The person asked a rather specific question, and you spread demagoguery (except for the OnYourLips SW - it gave a valuable resource).
I have the same situation now, I want to update my knowledge in the modern world of PHP and JS, I choose how to properly build a training course. I agree to go through everything again from scratch, but "correctly".
So let me share with you my findings:
And then you need to sit down to study the framework. We still have a very popular Yii, although my heart is to learn more about Symfony. In the west, Laravel is now very popular.
If you need the books above in electronic form, you can contact me or google.

I will duplicate the answer Sergey Protko This
will help not to fence crutches)
The main thing is an understanding of the basics. The language and all the infrastructure (docker, vagrant, frameworks, etc.) are just tools that are mastered fairly quickly with a good foundation.
I do not pretend to absolute truth .. just a personal opinion

You can re-read the book by Mett Zandstra, the 4th edition has been published, which means the book is relevant.

We should start with Donald Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming. And then already...

Don't read about PEAR, see packages at https://packagist.org/
php.net
No one's, they usually write articles about the newest. Read https://habrahabr.ru/ , the guys from Zfort make quite good digests https://habrahabr.ru/company/zfort/
