I've been developing with PHP for 3 years using PHP frameworks. I want to be a team lead someday that's why I'm asking you guys, how would you suggest that I improve skills on web architecture more?

How do I increase my PHP skills?

What resources (books or sites) should I read?

What more can you guys suggest? What rituals should I do?

What nuggets of advice would you guys give to me?

What experiences would you share?

Thanks you very much in advance!
