Some tips

One of the things you will usually run into in the beginning is error messages, it is therefore important that you know where the error is exactly.Here you can further retrieve information that helps you solve errors and it is quite easy to turn on.You only need a small piece of code at the top of your index page, this is the following piece of code PHP errors display.

It is also highly recommended to start using OOP (Object Oriented Programming) this is a method where you will mainly use classes.This will prevent you from reusing parts of your own code, this will also make your website run faster.It will also make your code a lot easier to read, which will make it easier for you to work as a programmer.

It is also very important that you use a modern version of PHP preferably higher than 7.0.Not only is it safer to use a newer version but it will also make your website a lot faster.
