Someone may have already asked this, I just didn't see it, and I've been looking for about 3 hours now.

Website Reference: http://www.neopets.com

Okay, I'm currently working on an interactive online pet game similar to the one listed above, except this one deals with horses (and only horses).

As of right now, I personally have to sit and update the entire site based on what information I recieve in forms. This is extremely time consuming and with all my other daily actvities (work, school, and sleep) I rarely have time to do this anymore. I know Neopets.com has a system set up that will allow you to feed your pet and it adjusts it on the page, how can I do this???

Or if the user gives medicine to their horse (because it's sick) how can I get this to show up on the page?

Please help as I have fallen severely behind.

Sincerely,
Joshua A.

P.S. I'm also wanting people to be able to design their own homes (without using flash if possible.) and customize it (i.e. build a room, tear down a room, etc)

You will need help from server-side (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=server-side+scripting&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8) scripting and a database. This is also very complex. Don't get me wrong, it can be done, but... It's just not easy :).
Today I would say the most popular combinations is PHP (the scripting language) with a MySql database.

(the top two or three would be the best)
