hello ,
i have an old dos school bulletin system written in c , from witch i can print the bulletin of a whole class , say the grade reports of 15 students of class A , separately . at once.
im thinking of transitioning my application to the internet and rewrite it from scratch. Knowing that php and html go hand in hand , i need to assure myself if with this technology , i can accomplish such command like the one i mentioned above .
thank you

Well, I must say your description of the existing application leaves a lot to the imagination. In fact, I have no idea what you're asking. But even not knowing what it is you need this app to do, I am 99% certain PHP can accomplish it. It's a fantastic language 
Re: school bulletin system - is it possible with php?
Yes, this is entirely possible with PHP. One thing you'll have to be super, duper careful of though is security. Putting this app online makes it publicly accessible & potentially hackable (this is a property of all web based applications, not just PHP based).
Of course, if you want to just set up a web server on your personal computer & have the PHP app running there, the security concerns are lessened - but still important.

Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

Web-based school bulletin systems have become quite popular recently in my country, and as I've been designing one, I can assure you it is possible. You have to design a proper database structure and a sufficient number of CRUD panels to manage it. The thing you have to pay attention to is security. First of all, such a bulletin should be accessible through an encrypted SSL connection only, secondly - strong passwords, access control lists are necessary. You should also check if there are any legal requirements for servers concerning personal data protection in your country.
