Getting started with php and mysql

[Aileana]

Okay I'm stumped, I've been asked by a good friend of mine, who knows I have zilch in php experience when it comes to.

I've been asked to created a accounting database, that allows a person to go in and allows them to have their own account, post how much they made in a month, deducts from it when they spent it, and then allows them to also uploads scripts of it.

Yes it is for a roleplaying venue, so its actually all mythical coinage. Can someone help or point me to the right direction on how to get started.

Thank you for your replies, a head of time.

Hello Aileana,
I understand everything here except for this part "then allows them to also uploads scripts of it." Is that like an accounting reference or something?
This seems like a good project to get you started and you will learn A LOT after completing it.
From what I gather, you will need to know quite a bit about php sessions, form input handling, and basic mysql commands. However, it could get more involved depending on how sophisticated you want this accounting system. I do not know of any immediate solutions to your project, so I can only suggest you go through a few php tutorials and get a feel for it before planning out this project. Google search on "PHP tutorials" will generate some very useful sites.
I do suggest this one as it helped me:: [w3schools.com...]
All php commands and functions can be found at:: [php.net...]
