[Soft Devil]

hi every one,

im an IT student, graduating this year and working on a project using php.

it's a web-based application for a kindergarten system(online registeration, payment, interacation, and also that generates reports for the administration)

i would like to know how should i start and with what?

That's quite some place to start. http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/ is a good place to begin to learn the very basics.

I'm not sure of your requirements here, but I probably woulnd't go the self-coded PHP route. This might be a school project or something so maybe you need to. But I've grown quite fond of ExpressionEngine (http://www.expressionengine.com/index.php?affiliate=visualbinary) over the past few months. It can handle most if not all of what you require out-of-the-box. Whatever can't be done out-of-the-box can be accomplished with custom PHP. It's not free though (at least not with the member registration etc that you need. There is a free version without the membership functionality, you *could* code this yourself)
