dear friend every person who is here will only assist you in your problem during problem coding error. If you are new then u have to do some home work on it.
Php is easy to learn if you spend some time on php then you will be able to develop the web-based system.

go and start reading php manual and implement it.

This is for your thesis? You don't see how what you're asking for is so fundamentally wrong?

I may add a note that people here (and anyone else thinking of asking this question) are probably the most helpful people I've seen around, I have asked questions in other coding based forums (blackberry, etc) and have had little to no response.

However, broad spectrum questions (as this is), asking us to do something from front to back (as this is) or asking us to DO your homework (as this is, especially thesis I may add) won't work.

Every person here started as a newbie, noob, rookie.. not a single person here looked at their first programming language and knew what they know now.

I will help you this much, I will give you some search engine tips to learn what you need:

1) PHP For Beginners
2) Intro to PHP
3) PHP with MySQL
3) PHP MySQL Tutorial

Once you read, and understand the concepts of your first PHP program, you can either buy hosting, or use a program called XAMPP - please, just read the website on it, very simple.. this is an Apache + PHP + MySQL and more all in one box, it will let you develop a Web Application right on your own PC/Mac/Linux System.

If you are having a specific problem, as in "I am getting this error (insert error here), here is my code (insert php code here)" many people will be glad to help you find the answer.

In addition, since this is for your thesis, a thorough understanding of the technology used would be recommended, as if I was your professor/teacher, I would ensure you know what your doing.

Best of luck, and I would recommend Googling Book Titles (from Amazon as pointed out, etc) and you can see reviews of those who have read it, it will give you a good idea which book is right for you.

Oh, for a note to the rest, I read half of a PHP book, but found trying to do it, and learning from my mistakes fast-tracked my learning.

Well said. If this is a university project most people will not help you get your grade. For numerous reasons, the main one being, PHP is not the hardest language in the world to learn, that being said it reiterates the point of the project, learning.

Now the books he described are good value and worth the time reading when it comes to PHP and mysql. My personal experience is very similar to big.nerds. The fact is esp. for males there is no better way of learning something then actually doing it. I started reading books soon after I learnt the basics from reading others code and the php manual and, really the reason for reading them was to learn good programming techniques and ways to solve common problems with an effective manner.

I believe that asking for help is fine, when you have done something proactively and still falling short of the mark.

Take the above suggestions from big.nerd on-board and, good luck with your thesis.

For your information, that was my major. So, it is not hard for me to teach you. And I think, if you confused on how to start the development, you might try take a look at system architecture and software development concept.

in order for you to connect to Ms server 2000, first, you must configurate IIS and PHP. Then make sure that iis and php are running! on localhost for testing then make sure that you use server side script for writing code and save on the same folder through root.
