Do WordPress Page Builders increase page load speed and as such, should these be avoided by those competent at hard coding?
Or is there something else that I am missing as the only real value, I can see with Page Builders, is that they help reduce time spent on coding.
Use code. Page builders add additional load time. Your site may also become less portable and maintainable because a bulk of the design for your site could be stored in the database. It really depends on the situation. I would assume code to be a little cleaner though.
Page builders add additional code which are mostly unnecessary so it means the page is heavier and therefore the speed is lower, i would recommend to always make the code by a coder, but if the page just have little content then probably a page builder cold come in handy

I have a html site, and I have a page that acts as a bio for users (which I currently have to update by hand with html).
I want to create a membership login page, and I want users to be able to input their own data, that in turn updates their bio page automatically. With an option to upload images.
I read up and looks like php and mysql is the way to go, which I know nothing about. Is that the right route? Or is there an easier way?
Kick me in the right direction to get that setup please? I'm lazy and don't want to spend months figuring out how everything works just to setup one page...
Do not try to write everything your own.
If you only want the result fast, find some mature CMS to start from. Try Drupal or Wordpress.
If you want more control and not afraid to fight with code, try framework like Laravel or Symfony. Learn as much APIs as possible from the framework.
I would look into Wordpress. They offer hundreds of thousands of plugins that can achieve advanced functionality without writing any code.
Here is a Wordpress plugin called Ultimate Member that looks like it would achieve your desired functionality.

I'm working on my first opensource project, and I found useful do do an html generator class, treating the html elements as php objects, but now I don't know if it really makes sense in the real world.
Have you ever needed an html generator class for you projects?
If your answer is yes, what would you find useful on it?
If someone wants to help in the project, you are welcome to the repository on github.Github repo
Thank you.
This approach, although liked by many at first sight, always fails a reality check.
Please learn about templates - the only way to go in dealing with HTML from PHP applications.
You need them only if you are some outsourced worker from India or China. Otherwise do not use them since you have potential to ruin your career and credibility.
Those tools are built for doing very dirty code without any future prospects.

I'm currently using a very simple CMS which I coded myself in PHP and mysql. It's main purpose is to add news articles and reviews. I've had some issues with security at times and uploading images. Would it be fairly simple to implement something like Joomla to my static existing html pages which are coding linking to my database?
Any help or nudges in the right direction would be appreciated.
Depending on exactly how complex your site is, what your plans for the future are, and whether you'll ever have any collaborators, you might want to avoid Joomla. It's a very big, complex piece of code, with a lot of features. Joomla assumes a lot about your site, adding weight which may be unnecessary. For example, Joomla will always create a session, using its own database storage, whether you require sessions on your site or not [*].
If you want something a bit more lightweight, take a look at Perch or Kirby. Both are excellent, simple applications for web content management.
[*] Caveat: I am not a very experienced Joomla user (have been using 1.5 for about 6 months), so take the details of what I say with a pinch of salt, but bear the general point in mind.

I want to know from a technical view if there is any profit of using E-commerce PHP
frameworks instead of hard coding every single detail in the website.
I see everybuddy talk about using those but is there any real profit (not just because it is more easy it should be done no ?) for now i have a project of a commercial site and i have build-ed from scratch the search engine and the navigation system and some other few things any help please (NO VOTE DOwn PLEASE if this is a bad question one comment and it will vanish).
the good things in E-commerce PHP frameworks is that they are well documented, easy to install, full functionality, less to work as updates and upgrades most of the time.
if you want to build one from scrach you should take a note that it could last several months (depends on the size of the project) and you will never know what bugs you have ... as the only person who knows the backend is you.
there is a profit ... since a new one from scrach takes a lot of time and testing ... and time=money ...
Why don't you test, most of them give out demos and there are a lot of them that are open source ...
e-commerce is more of a pain in the ass than you think at first. you have to make a large order form and build validation and sanitation scripts and spend a lot of time making the layout not look like scrap, encryption and SSL integration and then after all that it needs an admin with way too much to account for. i've done this and ... never again.

I was going to build a Flash application which let users go around and collect resources, (tiles graphics, you go with WASD) and then send data to php that save in a database, but as there are many Security issues with Flash, and it's anyway going to die in the future (dropping support) I ask:
What do I need to do, make a similar features in HTML5, What do I need to know? Where is a good place to begin.
HTML5Rocks is a collection of demoes. In particular, for complex graphics, you'll probably be using the <canvas> element.
If you prefer one coherent text instead of a lot of single articles, you can also look at Dive Into HTML5.
Also, if you want to know all the details, having a look at the standard can't hurt.
