I would move all but this one out of the beginners section depending on who you are targeting with this document.
Beginners are trying to write basic PHP and won't have any idea about classes let alone OOP.
When I see something targeting beginners I think more about stuff like this https://github.com/PeeHaa/php-net-tutorial

My aim was for people who already have a decent foundation in programming, but are looking into PHP. e.g. they've learned JavaScript or something off of Codecademy or Freecodecamp, and looking to expand.
I may have prematurely submitted the pull request, I was tired last night. I know there are other parts I need to clean up.

I could split it out to and have an "absolute beginner's" section and include your guide, maybe a couple others, and maybe parts from the PHP manual? I'll have to think on it and see how I should go about it.

Maybe move everything one section lower: most beginner stuff -> intermediate, intermediate -> advanced?

It took me a lot of digging to find it, and it was extremely helpful for me.</a></p> | ||

I have some TODOs I'll have to work on at some point. The page has no styles, maybe something @Netmosfera could help with? Cause I haven't a clue how to make it look other than I want to put the nested |
I created a list of links of guides and tutorials for beginners looking to learn PHP, this is something to point them to. I'm not sure how it should be linked to, either from the index.html or some other way.
