What to study to create a dynamic website?

Question

PHP

Hello toaster!
From the information obtained in the previous question What to use when developing a dynamic site? , I realized that in order to make a good dynamic site (generated from blocks), you need to know php and yii (as one of the best frameworks). I understand correctly? Or do you need something else? The other day I took a php course at codeacademy, I sort of figured it out, after C ++ it doesn’t seem so difficult, but there is only superficial knowledge of the language.
Essentially: what to study next? PHP and yii have huge documentation, which will take a lot of time to read, and not all the information will be remembered. Where can you get more or less systematic knowledge in this area?

Answer 1

and not all information will be remembered

It is important not to memorize the documentation, but simply to know what is there. You can build mindmaps according to the documentation so that it would be easier to return later.

Answer 2

There is no right answer here. And you don't quite do it. You're trying to read the documentation without knowing exactly how to apply it. For example, you know loops and you can count from zero to ten with a loop, but you don't know that you can count a database with loops. When I tried to study the documentation, I did not understand anything until I undertook to write my project. That's when I started to have 1000 questions that I googled and only then I understood what was happening. For example, start by registering on the site ... then everything will go by itself.
