So I have a lot of experience with PHP, MYSQL, and HTML and I want to program a php game! I have never done this before and there are not many tutorials on it. I'm wondering what type of game/genre you can make fairly simply with PHP and MYSQL.
Any suggestions/help would be immensely appreciated!
P.M. me if you want to help with the project or have any ideas!

There aren't many tutorials because it isn't really possible. PHP is a server-side scripting language. What does this mean? It does all of its work before you even see the page load. You couldn't possible make even a slightly complex game with it.
If you want to make games to play online, look into Flash or Java.

Could you possibly make a simulation game? Or a trading one?

No, not really. Not at all. The closest you could get is using Ajax to make a VERY simple text game, but it wouldn't be good practice and certainly wouldn't be very fun to play.
Like I said, give either Java or Flash a try.

Alright thanks...
I didn't want to get into a project that would be difficult and yield poor results. I appreciate the help and I will look into Java and Flash. Thanks!
