PHP is the most widely-known scripting language for server-side applications. Yet still, a lot of people like me have never had the need to learn it. Maybe because it's not that fast, or because it's the granny of server development. Nevertheless, it's a language worth to know. Here, I've curated a list of what you need to learn it, so there you go:

A great [course on PHP][1] that shows you the advantages of its easy syntax and included functionalities.
Pick up [a project][4] to work on developing your skills.
Get your side projects to work in a real-world environment, developing with popular libraries like [Laravel][5] and publishing your versions in [Heroku][6].

There is yet another thing that is not always remembered, and that is code style. Don't bother to write a tremendous application if you are not willing to make it accessible to other developers. There are [multiple books on the topic][2], but I recommend you to bring always a [code style guide][3] with you.
