You will need PHP/MySQL for the site if you go one way.

However, instead of hosting your own server, which is needed for a site anyways, you can just use dropbox as your "Server".

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

This will show you PHP.
If I were you I'd go ahead a learn Java script, Jquery, Ruby, and Rails while you are at it. These will allow you to make a much better website instead of using HTML and CSS.

If you don't want to invest that time:


The video you've linked teaches very bad database design/structure and interaction. There are far more up to date tutorials that could be recommended:

I wasn't recommending the video. It was the first that I came across. I was providing an option for someone who needed a place to start.

I am simply saying that it's a bad place to start..

Well, the video you posted is completely irrelevant in PHP today since the community has completely faded out mysql_* functions since they're out of date, insecure (no-one argue with me about this - I don't care if you can write a validation method - it's pointless) and will be removed in future PHP versions. If you're gonna suggest a tutorial, suggest a PDO tutorial that actually introduces the person to security preventions such as prepared statements and input filtering since that video you posted is vulnerable to SQLi along with the fact that his coding style goes against any form of professional or standard conventions for PHP. It's also not OO which is a large downer but it's fine since it's meant to be a beginner video focusing on the login part rather than building SOLID back-ends w/ SoC.

Meh, that's a good tutorial yet I only dislike it since it's not using PDO. I did mysqli when I shifted from mysql(i cant type underscores for some reason)* functions to mysqli for about a week then discovered that just learning PDO would be 10x more beneficial and practical. I don't like how the tutorial uses if statements to determine what's shown in an indented sense rather than just redirecting if session isn't set and making functions (in classes preferrably) to return things like these. Also hate the author for actually writing "== true" in an if statement rather than just realizing what an if statement actually checks. /end rant

Do you need help removing the stick from your ass? I really don't think OP cares, nor do I. I don't make website, nor do I care to get into that argument with you. OP wanted a place to start for PHP/mySQL I gave him one. If you Have a better one post it instead of trying to start an argument. I was trying to help the OP, unlike you.

If it would keep you chest beating to a minimum here is a newer Tutorial:

Well, if you didn't post on threads that are about things you don't understand then we wouldn't have this mess. You tried to help OP and instead gave him the worst reference ever. Good job.

I attempted to help. You have yet to do so.
