Hi,
I'm digging deep here to carry on my learning within PHP. I'm looking for websites that provide knowledge of how PHP programming concepts are used to solve problems? Or if anyone knows of any good resource sites other than php.net please do let me know, I would be happy to hear :)
Kind regards,
James

If you're looking for content that furthes the OOP examples used in Treehouse beyond the Cookbook example then I would urge you to look at the OOP Track for PHP here on Treehouse.
I'm not aware of any examples on the web specifically but there's at least 2 more examples of sites you could build on site using OOP on the Track. :)
Good luck!

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 38,322 PointsSome of the courses are i.e. https://laracasts.com/series/php-for-beginners is 100% free - worth taking a look to supplement with treehouse content :-)

9,260 Pointsthanks Henrik, that's what I'm thinking to get different aspects of PHP. What would you recommend in trying to build as a project?

- portfolio website - don't worry if you don't have any project (you can just use placeholders)
- A blog

9,260 PointsThis will be my main aim in the upcoming months, so build my own blog into a portfolio website. I guess that is both good learning steps :), do you have portfolio website at the moment ?

9,260 PointsHey Jonathan, thanks, I will be sure to be looking at this once I'm done with the beginner php course. I'm just following on from the end of functions, where Hamilton suggested to work on a few things, such as build a web page that does simple calculations, which I've made.
He suggested to read cookbooks with php and to read up on the rest of the inbuilt functions, so basically building my knowledge up.
Kind regards,
James
