This is pretty vague and defiantely ambiguous, do you have no idea of what to start with? Which langauges you would like to use / avoid ? (i.e i prefer to avoid javascript 'cos I'm not good at it)

Specify some stuff you've done at least.

Still depends on what kinda thing you want to do. Something along the lines of an online store, a member/non member website, a online library type site, simple forums ... or even a browser game site. Theres loads of places to start from :P

I know you said beginner, but what kind of things have you done before? I call myself beginner, and I've been doing php for over a year now.

I have my entire years worth of php tutorials and one of them is very basic member logins. Done a user login for a online bookstore before but not extensively. Have you any idea where to start or are you looking for a step by step guide?
