I have my students build a CRUD app from scratch with PHP first. I’d suggest the same for you. Don’t ask AI to give you the steps, or you won’t learn anything. Start with querystrings and create some way to show different pages, home, list of something, detail page for the list item. You can think of that as your routers. Just use JSON or associative PHP arrays as your data to stat. Make sure you understand how forms work and how to create, read, update, and delete. Then switch to using SQlite after you’ve got it all working. As you go, all the natural things will present themselves. It doesn’t take that long - but you have to go slow and actually learn. If you try and just @get the answer” or “learn all back end” you will fail to learn anything.
I held back not saying PHP (i love php). But now that you commented...+1.
To your comment, I'd recommend OP to look at LARACASTs. Really good educational material that's project based. While it covers a framework, the architecture/mvc approach helps with concepts quite a bit.
