- Learn all the core elements of PHP like classes, arrays, functions, etc
- Learn OOP (object oriented programming) techniques and MVC (model-view-controller) development
- Dissect current CMS's. You can learn a lot from others who have already done it.
- Consider using a PHP framework to help build your CMS. Laravel is really hot right now.
If you're pretty new to PHP right now, you may get more mileage extending an already made CMS. I learned a ton about PHP when I started heavily modifying Wordpress with custom functions and plugins for myself.
