Codecademy is how I learned my PHP basics, its very helpful and a very good tool for learning new languages in the way it is done. You also get to see your code function and perform a real life function which is nice as well.

Good luck with your faucet script, make sure you check everything to make sure you cannot be exploited. I would hate to see hard earned money be stolen by some hacker.

Great to hear that someone is actually learning PHP. I suggest you looking at W3Schools first, as they provide in-depth tutorial. Codecademy is useful if you want to learn PHP fast without knowing some 'behind-the-scene'.

This ^

I started learning the fundamentals of PHP from W3schools, sometimes I feel that the courses in CodeAcademy are too repetitive although its pretty good for beginners

Stackoverflow is good for finding answers to technical questions when you get beyond the basics.

Some useful things that probably won't be in codecademy is SHA256 hashing which is very useful with bitcoin and password and provably fair

Just spoke with a friend and he said he would teach that to me :D

To hash a string by SHA256 in PHP is easy. Here's some example code:
Quote
$string = 'teststring123';
$hashedstring = hash('SHA256', $string);

echo $string . ' : ' . $hashedstring;
This will output the following:
Quote
teststring123 : c0970ea1df4d1a25fc9f348f6d363f295152373adb42d2b27e9200cf87eeaf12

I pretty much learned PHP from googling my questions and learning the codes from the answers.
Good places I would suggest is:
http://www.w3schools.com  - Great for any sort of web programming
http://www.php.net - The official documentation, very useful for seeing syntax and such that you're unsure about
http://www.stackoverflow.com - Extremely helpful for finding answers to questions from humans to humans. Almost all errors in my code are fixed by this site.

Do not get suckered into w3's useless certificates. No one will look at them.
