It would be a very large project. I suggest checking out http://hotscripts.com/ for something that might work for you. If you don't see anything that you want, I'd have to say hiring someone to build such a complicated system would be the best route, but it will be expensive.

I think you're way out of depth if you don't know how to get started, but anyway...

You will need:
1. A database to store the user's information. Access, MySQL or MSSQL will be fine for a beginner, depending on what you're comfortable with.

2. A database designed to store this information: tables, triggers, procedures, whatever you want to do...

3. A server-side language (PHP, ASP, etc) you can use to program the scripts that will...
3. a) deal with user registrations
3. b) deal with security (user login/logout/restrictions)
generally, read/write data from/to the database.

Thanks. I understand what you mean by php and MySQL so i will give that a try thank you
