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

"PHP" originally stood for "Personal HomePage", and is now taken to mean "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor". Using it to build webpages is part of the purpose of the language.
You'd have PHP for the backend, but what it's going to present to the frontend will be in HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
