Alright so I want to make a user-based review site. There will be a number of different places to review. And each place will have certain events; after these events have occurred users will be able to submit reviews about the event experience. I figure I would host it on some hosting service and use MySQL/PHP.
TO begin with I figure I should make my own MySQL/PHP server and mess around there. Now does anyone know of any places where I can get help/advice?
Full Version: User-Based Review Site
We never did finish this conversation that night in the hub. Which parts of making this site in particular are you curious about? The hosting aspect, the coding, the design?
I'm heading off to work again, I'll be there in two hours or so.

For now the coding, frankly that's the most important aspect right. Afterwards I'll work on desgin and after that hosting. It will all come in time. I also don't think I can work on the design untill I understand how I would code it.
You might wanna check out some CMS. Do a google search. You can also outsource your project to freelancers. I get weekly work here, but I can't help much with the coding.
Look me up online somewhere...

I'm doing essentially the same thing...a data-driven website. The parts you're caught up on now I've gotten past and are still fresh in my memory (i.e. setting up a test platform) A little back-and-forth chatting and you can figure it out no problem.
Hosting is so cheap these days that you can probably skip that step entirely if you don't mind shelling out a few bucks. My host costs me around $7/month, I get 100GB storage, 1TB bandwidth, 25 MySQL databases, and php and asp.net 2 support. ( http://www.godaddy.com ) Then there's your test platform, fully configured and ready to rock. (They even gave me some credit at Google AdSense and licensed forums and blog software. AND some guy named Mark called me today to introduce himself as my "personal contact" and go-to-guy at GoDaddy...for seven bucks, lol.)

So to begin with I should get a host, yes? or make my own testbed at home?

Well, you can do either one. My suggestion was the host because it's so cheap. It's not that hard to set one up at home, though.
This link is a version or two behind, but I had very little trouble getting everything set up by using his walkthrough.
