A revolutionary new way to learn PHP.
Bring your imagination to life in an open learning eco-system.
Welcome to PHP School! A dedicated community based learning platform that will teach you the core skills in PHP. The concept behind PHP School is small standalone workshops, workshops are run from the command line, somewhere every developer should be familiar with.
Each workshop covers a different topic, some beginner, some advanced. You're not restricted to a schedule, you go at your own pace with no pressure.
Windows users need to do a few more annoying things first.
In order to get started with PHP School workshops, you first need to install the workshop manager. Before we can do this we need to check you have a few things:
Once the above are satisfied, run the following commands in your terminal, to install the workshop manager. The final command will verify your installation and will give you tips on how to resolve any issues.

mv workshop-manager.phar /usr/local/bin/workshop-manager
