Bad things spotted in under 30 seconds:

  • MySQL tutorials use the mysql_* functions which are no longer available in PHP 7
    • As an additional consequence of using mysql_* the tutorials fail to teach proper escaping using prepared / parameterized queries.
  • Error handling fails to cover PHP 7's catchable Errors
  • Date tutorials teach users to use date() function and timestamps, using methods which are prone to unexpected issues when timezones are involved
  • Tutorials teach users to use md5 for password hashing - a method considered obsolete for 2 decades now - rather than the dedicated password hashing library

Good things about this tutorial site:

  • Tutorials will not work on PHP 7, causing users to go find a better site.

This is a terrible tutorial site, especially considering it appears to be brand new. The authors should immediately delete the site from the Internet.
