<p>I want to be able to make websites like facebook, youtube and google (and even stack overflow!), can someone suggest a step by step guide (as best as you can, if even for part of the way) and not just "Do tutorials and make websites".</p>

<p>I can't go to a we design company and tell them "I'll learn while making sites", or make a website for a client and it ends up being full of holes and security issues.</p>

<p>I'm interested in PHP as opposed to other types, but i'm open minded.</p>

<p>Your help is very appreciated.</p>
