Hello, I am new to the list and don't know how kind you are helping complete beginners in PHP. I intend to set a personals matchmaking site for people interested in entheogens (http://singlemates.yage.net) I don't know where to begin, I have some PHP cookbooks handy and am looking to do it the easy way but have no idea how much work and knowledge is needed. What I want is for people to log in (using sessions?), post and modify profile with uploading photos and search for personals based on location, desired place to live, age, kind of relationship, etc. I intend to do it it by steps adding features as my php knowledge increase but would appretiate very much some tips and hints on where to begin and how to design this project. Some tips on where and what I shall learn for this project would be of great help.
Thanks a lot, hope this may help other people interested in similar works, -Danalex
