Hi, I might do a quick video on this. That said, portfolio sites / examples ... if you will, are better if they are real project clients.

Remember, that professional development has a lot to do with the process. Laravel is the most popular PHP framework ... that's what we use. I think you will find more opportunities with Laravel overall. Hope that helps.

What error message are you getting?

Copy the error messages, and search for them in Google ... this will lead you to your answer. It could be one of many things depending on your code. Most errors are typos or some configuration issue. Programmers have to become detectives and learn to track down the source of the errors ... because each one is different. Hope that helps. Stef
