Simple PHP Registration

[system]

Hello everyone! I’m new to PHP so need some pointers! I’m working on a system for our school.

#1 Register - A form where you enter your student number and full name along with a simple captcha. Students number and full name go into database.

#2 Points - Upon reaching this page you would enter your student number into a form (if you’re registered) hit submit and it’d tell you how many points you have.

I have a mySQL database to hold all this information. Where do I get started?

Honestly, grab a new (by publication date) book and work your way through it if you are actually wanting to learn. Starting a personal project as a way to learn is not the way to actually learn and understand anything new.

There are so many ways to do it, and it has been done before.

I would start by taking a look at what has been done before: https://www.bing.com/search?q=simple+php+registration&pc=MOZI&form=MOZLBR
