php-laravelHow do I use the Laravel guide to develop a website using PHP?

To develop a website using PHP with Laravel, you can follow the steps below:

1. Install the Laravel framework:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel myproject

2. Create a database and configure your .env file with the database credentials:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=myproject
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

3. Create a controller:

php artisan make:controller HomeController

4. Create routes to the controller:

Route::get('/', 'HomeController@index');

5. Create a view file in the resources/views directory:

<h1>Hello, World!</h1>

6. Add the view to the controller:

public function index()
{
    return view('home.index');
}

7. Run the development server:

php artisan serve

This will start a development server at http://localhost:8000 and serve your application.

For more information on developing with Laravel, you can refer to the Laravel Documentation.
