Welcome to BetterPHP, the place where most people delete their posts after posting it because they realise what they did wrong after putting it in writing!
XD joking, but seriously, welcome to BetterPHP.
I learnt most of somewhat I do today from these forums (and video tutorials by Jacek).
But yes, you're right. This is a good place to get started.
Just wanted to basically say the same. Just started with PHP, I use JavaScript in my job but I'm using php in my personal endeavours, really enjoying the tutorials and learning TONS, please keep up the good work Jacek
