TheNewBoston is great! Bucky and Alex are really good at teaching PHP but it is a bit dated. I used alexs 200 PHP videos to get me off to a start and combined with Treehouse I have become fluent in OOP and Procedural PHP code.
Hope this helps!

8,593 PointsI have only started treehouse but have been going through 1000s of courses elsewhere like lynda.com from all I have learned I can understand and use all aspects of PHP like OOP, PDO, and frameworks like Laravel.
Try PHPacademy on youtube they are really good.

7,369 PointsI did use Lynda.com to leanr HTML and CSS but its kind of outdated there like no HTML5 and no flexy layout . Ill see also PHPacademy :) Thank you . But since you did quite alot of this work , can you make something like : Log in / Log out, Block/Unblock , Post Comment/Delete it, Add friends, picture , special scores etc..? How long did it take you from when you started to lean PHP to where you are now?
