> How should one start learning with PHP these days?

there is learning PHP and its standard lib, learning how to avoid all the PHP pitfalls (because there are a lot of them when it comes to webdevelopment) then learning some mandatory framework because that's how you get an actual PHP job. These 3 things are separate tasks.

For the first frankly it's the documentation + stackoverflow, the second is https://phptherightway.com/ , the third is the documentation of whatever framework you are using. Final step is to learn how to use whatever server that will front your PHP app, Apache or Nginx.
