Hello,
First of all, I am new to PHP programming and kinda lost in its code. I started to learn php because of a friend oh mine that needs to have a system designed for her Hair Cutting Shop. First, I need to create a Login system (registration ect), which I'm pretty sure I can do. Next, i have to have the Logged in uer be abled to schedule an appointment. The user has to chose the person who he/she wants to cut their hair, and then chose an avaible time slot on the days that the Hair Cutter works. Does anyone know how I should approach this, or how I can do this? Without getting lost in lines and lines of coding. Please remeber, I am a beginner in PHP :D . Thanks

Definitely gonna need a MySQL database or some other DB for a backend to store the data. I doubt there's anything like this out there, so you're probably just gonna have to dive in and start getting your hands dirty with code. It doesn't sound like a very complicated thing to do, so even though you are a beginner, it could be a very nice, manageable project to get you started and help you learn.

And remember, we are always here to help along the way. I know you're not gonna get anyone to do the work for you, but we'll be more than happy to guide you and answer questions.

I suggest you get some php books, that is a pretty advanced project for a beginning developer. You might even wanna contract it out.

There is also the SQLite option. It would be a lot easier to maintain the system as a whole. And based on the application, it's questionable if he'd need a full blown RDBMS.
