Learn PHP The Right Way

This is kind of an outline of my Learn PHP The Right Way series on youtube. The series is split in three sections & all the videos are within the following playlist. Below is list of the videos with their appropriate section & lesson number.

The series is up to date with PHP version 8.1. I will try my best to keep this series up to date as the new PHP versions come out. Feel free to open a PR if you notice a typo or a mistake or let me know.
