What is the best way to learn php?
I don't like books at all, what should I do? After 100 pages, the desire already completely disappears and it becomes boring when reading. And some discomfort when I read, I just force and torture myself to look at these letters and read. I can't read books. I read the book PHP 7 in the original. I couldn’t finish reading, it’s better not to suffer, I thought, and it’s better to ask on habr. What to do? Just watch YouTube videos? Can't read books or am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

Practice.

Answer 2

As you noted above, learning is not reading or watching. First of all, it is worth starting from applied (not necessarily complex) tasks for which you are already adjusting. Only in this case there will be both motivation and orientation in training. Ideas for such projects can be taken from a large list of test assignments: https://github.com/Hexlet/en-test-assignments
I once wrote an interactive tutorial in which everything revolves around practice right in the browser (to make it easy to begin). Try to feel the difference compared to just reading: en.code-basics.com/languages/php

Answer 3

The best - when the text of the training material immediately understands how to do it and the result is immediately visible.
It's better to start by creating a simple php application: "web notepad". The functionality, as in a regular notepad (create, save, load, edit, etc.), only works entirely in the browser and from the server side.
