What is the best way to improve your php skills?

Question

PHP

Good afternoon. I have been developing websites for two years, from simple to medium complexity.

I ran into a problem, because I constantly use the same tricks. There is no professional development. PHP knowledge level is average.

I would like to ask how to properly build your training in your free time?
Perhaps there are interesting tasks that I could set and solve for myself? Or fresh literature.

Hello! The question is rather ambiguous, because each person has his own approach, but I can advise you on a few things. Firstly, gradually increase the complexity of projects (sites), thereby you will develop, looking for information, using it, because creating more complex sites, you will have to find something new for you, study it. Secondly, try to find those areas in php that you are not familiar with, then study them while implementing them into your sites. Regarding literature, I will not advise you on any specific books, I will only say one thing - do not read books from which information is familiar to you, yes, repetition is good, but you do not need to overdo it, it is better to look for new material. Tasks are also an interesting topic, although of course I have already said about them, but I will give you more advice - choose some site, on which there are a lot of programming tasks, take the most difficult ones, if you solve it without problems - the site is not suitable, if there are difficulties, then take simpler tasks from the site - solve them, and gradually begin to complicate the level. I hope that my advice will be useful to you.
