Planning a website /backend stuff

[Domo230]

Hi guys, im a 2nd year computer science student. I just fininshed a course on web design and for my final project I created a static website. I would like to make a dynamic version of my idea but have been having some difficulty finding out how to create some of the things needed.

The idea is a food comparison site where ideally I would like users to be able to create a template of a food that contains the information about the food (name, region its from etc.. similar to how a wiki page is created) and compare the food with another food to see which foods people prefer.

This is a very complex project, involving languages and ideas I have little/no experience with. My first goal is to figure out how the relationships of the database will work.

Ideally the site would let a user search for an entry and have that entry (eg pizza) take up half the page. THh user may then search for a specific entry that that will fill the right hand side of the page for comparison purposes(or they can select a random choice). The user will vote on which they prefer

I cant think of an effective way to store the results of this vote and how I would find it.

I have 6 months html and css experience and have dabbled in phpmyadmin, php and javascript. (So far I do not really like php)

Any help would be appreciated either in solving this dillema or in helping me to come up with a proper plan for the site before I begin the work. (dont even get me started on how I am going to do the user login)

Thanks guys

So what would the goal of this project be or the purpose? I'm finding it a bit hard to see how your concept would entice people to use your website.

You'll obviously need a database system to store the submissions, conduct queries, and votes etc.

As far as PHP goes, I find it the easiest to work with and understand. It also goes hand in hand with MySQL. Which again, is a very easy database system to work with.

Your other alternative is ASP and MSSQL which I found to be very difficult to grasp.

You may be able to get away with using a CMS such as Joomla or Wordpress to accomplish this sort of thing.

Sounds like you have a big project on your hands. Good luck.

The goal would be to see how much of a website I can create. I will probably have to go with a simpler system where I create the items to be voted which avoids the problem of creating user log in and addition to the database.

Users visiting the site isnt a major concern, it's just something I would like to create as a hobby.

try learning more about databases.. moreover, it might be helpful if you learn about php too..

Ich wollte mal ein neues Online-Casino ausprobieren, das einfach zu bedienen ist und stabil läuft. Dabei stieß ich auf roll dorado, das sehr übersichtlich wirkt und schnell lädt. Die Bonusangebote sind fair und passend für Spieler in Deutschland, verständlich erklärt. Besonders gefiel mir, dass ich die Spiele sofort starten konnte, ohne lange suchen zu müssen, und die Navigation intuitiv ist.
