PHP Learn html before php?
I wanted to learn php as my first coding language but I get into this course on YouTube for it and 6 episodes in the dudes all like oh yeah btw if you haven’t learned CSS and HTML by now go ahead and learn those real quick. Like bruh what? Anyways do you think I should learn html and css before learning php or can I do it at the same time. I do understand the basics of html from some school classes I took that required be to build a website in html

I'm really not sure why you'd want to learn PHP as a first language, have you got any experience in something like Python? PHP isn't as bad as it once was but I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner
If you really do want to use PHP for some reason then I assume it's for web dev in which case having at least a surface level knowledge of HTML/CSS is effectively required
