How should I go about learning to manage PHP security for myself?

PHP

Production on hold – I want to open a website business from home. I’m far from new to computer technology. It was my decision to move to Linux, and use LAMP. So what information do you recommend to get to an acceptable level of security? Should I be using MariaDB, and what PHP book(s) on security should I read before beginning the great coding tasks?

Note, I have been using Microsoft servers at Godaddy, as a result of what little I know about security. My thought was that purchasing a TLS certificate covered the bulk of security issues. So now that I’ve thrust myself into the Linux world, where should I be getting my feet wet? Recommended books, coding apps, frameworks etc. would be helpful not only from a security view, but also productivity is important.

Mariadb is irrelevant to the question, you can use whatever database you wish.

As of the frameworks, go for Laravel. If used properly, it will take care of the most security issues.
