https://www.d20srd.org/ got you covered for the core rules, plus a few orbital rulesets, like psionics, or the optional rules from unearthed arcana, but if you want anything beyond that, you'll have to get your hands on either physical books, or legally bought pdfs.

A warning. Stay away from the online resource D&D wiki. You will come across it by accident. That site mixes homebrew unbalanced crap with the actual rules. And in many cases it is very difficult to tell what is official and what is not. Many things share the same name as official content. In general, content found on the site gets banned from games.

I think the forum policy still has {scrubbed} and some derivatives as unwelcome links due to copyright.

I will second the call to avoid Dandwiki. It’s a terrible reference for new players as it does not filter out homebrew content.

DriveThruRPG has a lot of the PDFs.

I find that I use the D20SRD and the PDFs a lot, in spite of having a lot of hardcopy books and magazines...

For sure, pdfs are far more convenient than the hard covers, especially when you can bring a whole library over on a tablet or phone, as opposed to having to lug multiple bags full of books. I personally have pdf copies of all the books, even though I have ALMOST every book in physical form, its just much easier.

There's also http://dndsrd.net/ which stays away from the sometimes unnecessarily-flashy layout and ads of https://www.d20srd.org/ and as a bonus, has a downloadable version for offline use.

As others have stated, home-brew gets put alongside official DnD rules on that wiki and it could be a lot clearer what's official and what's not. I'm personally not a fan.

There are a few portals explicitly for 3.5 official rules that are much better. And the pdfs/books should be ceoss-checked for the major stuff to make sure you don't miss any rules

There is also a specific rules compendium for sale if it is the rules you are after. Most of the other books will add classes, races, setting details, spells, magic items and feats. So it depends what you are looking for, exactly.

You may legally buy the PDF for the rules compendium (and other 3.5 books) here:

Indeed. dnd-wiki is a mess. While I'm sure the management of said site had good intentions, the way they compile and present official and unofficial material makes it extremely difficult for an inexperienced reader to separate them from each other.

IMHO, d20srd.org would be the best online source for the very basic 3.5 rules, if it wasn't chock-full of pop-up disclaimers and commercial banners constantly preventing you to actually read the contents of the site.

Personally, I prefer Sovelior Sage's version, the dndsrd.net as it's completely devoid of commercials and other annoyances. And it does have better search options than d20srd.org has.
