If I wanted to create a custom CMS that will allow people to be able to upload files, register a new account, to be able to add to a blog article, edit one's article but not someone else's, edit one's profile, be able to leave comments, edit comments as well as edit their blog articles in something similar to this forum's post box (with Bold, Italic, etc options), how would I go about it?

Why do you want to create your own when there are hundreds of free ones that do that? Or is this just an experiment to learn PHP?

I am running
http://www.loksewaexam.com in Joomla and
http://www.ictblogging.com in wordpress. But I am very interested to build a complete CMS using PHP. Where can I get the best resource for this?

@OP : First decide what you want the cms to do; you already have a good idea but get more details in there; "register a new account " is a good start but also think about things like how will accounts be activated, how will accounts be managed, what about non-activated accounts, etc. Once you have all this figured out download one or two of the other suggested cms'es and take a look at how they handle these things. Existing content management systems are excellent tutorials on how to do things and somethings on how not to.
Building a custom cms with php is a good way to learn how php interacts with databases aswell as incorporating issues like security and usability (among others); sure you can use existing ones but you wouldn't go wrong if you made your own cms; you don't have to create it for mass-production or to sell it; once it's built you'll have more confidence in your coding abilities and you can move onto bigger projects;
good luck and paste back here if you need any help regarding your cms :)
