Currently I know a bit about HTML CSS and JavaScript. I now want to learn php and mySQL. So I've read around got some information but I can't really make clear the process I should be following to set up a good development environment.
First off my text editor is Brackets and I've downloaded Xampp onto my computer. I'm currently getting no errors when I open the control panel everything seems to be running fine. So here is my questions
What should I be doing next? is that it?
Is there a tutorial that I can follow that stops me asking for help on here?
My reason for posting is I did the same thing last time and then the next day I started getting errors so I've had to reinstall.

I am sure you must have read all about php. Let me lay out some basics for you. If everything is fine with control panel and you are able to start servers then type localhost in the browser and that'll confirm the installation process.
https://blog.udemy.com/xampp-tutorial/
Follow that link in case you face problem.
To start with php go to any tutorial website, tutorialspoint etc. and learn some basics then make a folder in htcdocs and then access your files using localhost/yourfoldername/yourfile
localhost/phpmyadmin - to work on database.

I've started learning php recently and will be using MySql. But I have a lot of MySql 'things' installed on my computer (in the screenshot). I want to completely uninstall everything and have XAMPP handle whatever is needed. I want to know would it be a good practice to do so and is it actually safe to remove everything, making sure that nothing would break and is there a way to check if some software depends on any of those?
Your Version is very old, so update it urgently.
You only need the Server and the shell.
Workbench is helpful as it provides a gui, even when phpmyadmin doesn't work.
If you decide to use Java c++ or other languages you can always come back and install them again. Them same goes for samples and Documentation

These days I'm moving an old PHP project to Laravel framework and I'm struggling with these white pages that come up every hour. Back when I used Asp.net I never saw such a blank pages. But now in PHP and Laravel I always see white pages and I should solve the problem with guessing where the issue may be or not.
No matter what I do. "Display errors" is on. "Display startup errors" is on. Storage/laravel.log has nothing helpful.
check APP_ENV to be local not production
read Laravel's Logging documentation
install a debugger extension: Xdebug is fine
if you are using feature tests consider adding
$this->withoutExceptionHandling();
to disable Laravel's exeption handling wich may lead to redirecting,...
if youre still unable to see error page it may be a php matter. check this answer
Open the .env file in the root of your Laravel project and change APP_DEBUG=false to APP_DEBUG=true

I am trying to access a website https://worldspills.com from my Chrome browser and I am getting the following error
Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress
I have checked the existing questions with similar error (Php - Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress). However I don't understand how those solution apply to my context as i am just trying to access a third-person website and not trying to build or maintain my own page.
Is it possible for me to access this website on a simple browser or do i need to get certain applications and addin for that?
If you are not the owner of the website you can't do nothing, it's not your browser or your computer problem in general.

I bought space from dropbox for personal use, and I found out they have a public folder where I can share my files like a website. I wanted to learn PHP save saving my files into my dropbox folder, and this will not require me any FTP.
I don't know much about website programming. I have some background in technical programming for work. But that's it. I tried to follow this page, but I really don't understand them. I have also viewed this youtube page, but it's not window based, and I got stuck on using composer. I followed as best as I could, but all the samples in the SDK never shows up correctly. Anyone with any other sources to help me get started on setting up PHP through my dropbox? Thanks in advance.

Hello fellow StackOverFlow-ians. I am currently learning about PHP and I have found out that it is deeply related to "MySQL". I looked it up, and what I think is that "SQL" is a language used to help "Database Management Systems" run "Relational Databases".
I have installed "MySQL Community Server" on the Website. I have a command prompt and a few files now installed on my computer. Is this one database, or is this a tool for managing databases, and I have to install a database?
What I would like to know is, what this community server is exactly, and what I need to get started (links and tutorials would be appreciated). If what I said at the start was wrong, then please tell me - I cannot find valid information anywhere.
Thanks in advance - 0wendaman
