Download the php language tutorial.
The selection includes books both for those who have experience with this language and for beginners. It must be remembered that it is not always necessary to become familiar with programming using PHP. Therefore, if you choose it as your first language, then this should be an informed decision and it is better to do it in conjunction with the study of other technologies. It will help you make your choice.
« PHP, in my opinion, is not the best to start learning programming. It is good and powerful for its purposes. This is not my first programming language, so learning it did not require a lot of effort and books. I learned PHP first on my own, using various sites with reference materials, then taking courses, and then again using sites. I mainly used the manual on php.net from the creators"- says Vladimir Vashchenko, Senior Developer at Sevmorgeo.

For those who chose PHP as their first language to learn. The book from the famous publishing house O"Reilly reveals the essence of key web technologies. Here is everything you need to know to get started about creating dynamic web pages that run on MySQL. Unfortunately, there are inaccuracies in the code examples, but broken examples can be compensated simply by Googling .
Learning PHP and MySQL (Lynn Bailey)

More complicated
PHP Advanced and Object-Oriented Programming: Visual QuickPro Guide (Larry Ullman)
A book for understanding OOP in PHP. Unlike many “techies,” the author writes in an accessible manner and cares so much about his readers that he personally answers questions that arise during reading on his forum.
PHP. Objects, Patterns, and Programming Techniques (Mat Zandstra)
A must read for those who want to become a pro. The book is suitable for Junior level and will be useful for those who are tired of writing in a procedural style. In principle, it will be useful not only for PHP programmers. Design and development approaches are described here in a very clear way. The author covers OOP in all its glory, and the patterns shown in the book allow you to “work wonders.” One of the goodies is working with git.
Bonus
Domain-Driven Design (DDD) (Eric Evans)
Worth reading for anyone dealing with OOP. The book expands the understanding of both design patterns and application architecture, offering something more than the usual OOP. The examples in the book in a C-like language will be understandable to any programmer.
If you are a beginner, take on a simple project as soon as possible: a business card website, a small online store. Once you reach expert “status,” don’t forget to follow the official documentation.
And for those who want to develop professionally in PHP, we recommend the profession.
For web programmers working with PHP, we recommend Dmitry Koterov’s book “PHP 7”, which contains a large volume useful information.

PHP programming language - Training course - Savelyeva N.V. - 2006.
PHP is currently one of the most popular languages for implementing web applications. This course is devoted to studying its basics. The emphasis is on the practical application of acquired skills.
The PHP language was created to solve a specific practical problem on the Internet (which one can be found out by reading the first lecture of the course). We will also try not to be distracted too much by theoretical reasoning, and will strive to solve a specific problem in each of the lectures. Most of the examples are taken from a real-life system: a virtual museum of the history of computer science. The first part of the course is devoted to studying the basics of syntax and control structures. After this, client-server technology is considered as the main application area of the PHP language. Then we move on to studying the most useful built-in functions in our opinion and solving practical problems with their help. Although the object model in the PHP language is not the richest, its fundamental presence allows you to naturally describe object data models. As a basic model, the document model of a virtual computer science museum will be considered. After this, a number of applied aspects will be considered: working with the file system, with the database, strings, sessions, DOM XML - all this will allow us to consider the key tasks of the practical use of the language.
