PHP Programming Question

Question

Am just starting to learn about php. Will it allow me to create a web site that clients can update on their own? or is this something else entirely?

Answer 1

yes. PHP along with mySQL will allow you to create something like this. This is known as a CMS or content management system. It won't be easy but there are many free solutions available already. i.e. Drupal, and Joomla both use a php and mySQL back end.

Answer 2

PHP is a superb hypertext preprocessor.  Yes, you can do that and just about anything.  You will also need to run a database such as MySQL.  The two pretty much go hand in hand.  You are on the right track.

It is going to be very difficult to answer your question here because there is just so much to it.
