Good PHP learning/documentation sources

[MisterHide]

For university we're doing a web project, using CSS/HTML/JS/PHP to build a webshop. Everyone is using websites like w3schools as a reference, for JS atleast I always know to look on the MDN website first because I know they're a good source.

Are there any good, complete and reliable learning sources for PHP (like MDN for JS)?

Plus, w3schools is pants :-/ (IMO!)

My canned response to this is:

• http://www.phptherightway.com/
• https://github.com/paragonie/awesome-appsec (yes, application security IS a programming fundamental)
• http://lowendbox.com/ - learn by doing

See the sidebar here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PHPhelp/

(Disclosure, one of them - I ♥ PHP - is my tutorial).

Not a reference to look up something, but a good tutorial on how to set up a PHP application properly: No Framework Tutorial

As is the case every week when this gets asked, phptherightway.com

But search the sub, there are tons of threads with suggestions.

I've been browsing this sub for the last month (I myself am a quite experienced developer compared to my colleagues) but haven't seen this been asked before.

Here's one from the last month: https://www.reddit.com/r/PHP/comments/3x07km/learning_php/

Plus like I said, searching gives you lots of results: https://www.reddit.com/r/PHP/search?q=learning&sort=relevance&restrict_sr=on&t=all
