I would like to write a script for a "free stuff by referral" site. Here is an example of generally what I am looking for
http://script.offerdollars.com/portal.php?page=3. I would just buy the script, but it is encoded and there are a few things I want to change.
For this project, I will be using MySQL which I have setup already. I am new to php, but not OOP (experience with Java).
So my question is how do I get started on my site?

that's a really really general question.. I don't know too much of what to say except...
- build your library of classes, handlers, and things for the system.
- abstraction layer of the database, among other things..
- get a host, register your domain.. blah blah
- read like crazy all of php.net's documentation of php..

ok sorry for being so general, but I just needed someone to point a finger to where I need to start. I have a host and domain already so I guess I just have a lot of reading to do

Thanks for the help

create what, specifically? Everything I can think of, adds more pain on the programming end of things.

I feel MySQL is far far better than Access.
