Well i first recommend you design the project before you even start to code it. Like what functions do you want and how will it function. Other wise you will be wasting your time.

That part is normally the hardest part. The coding part is actually not that difficult once you get it down. But check out w3schools and how to build a forum. Also look up OOP so your code can be cleaner.

Not trying to be condescending or anything, but...

You neither have the time nor the knowledge to build such a project. Plus, as a beginner, anything you write will naturally be riddled with security holes you didn't know were possible.

I'm assume he knows that his project won't be completed for some month. With that said, you can't assume that he doesn't have the time to build a project like this.

On a note, if you start small on the project then build up, you will learn PHP very well since you are working on something that you truly like. Don't listen to this "Abbreviate" dude. Like i said before, first you plan out the project. Figure out the goal and then write down ALL the feature you want included on the first release. Try not to overdo the features since it can be hassle to code since you never coded before.

Once you are done figuring out all the features you want, start to brainstorm how things will connect together and how you want to handle all the calculations. So if you want higher level dudes to win against lower rank dudes then come up with an algorithm for this. Also, determine what each player starts out with once they join. Etc... You want to have all things figure out BEFORE YOU CODE.

As previously mention, the most important aspect about a project like this is not the coding but the planning part. So once you finally finish the planning part, start to work on the coding part. Start from using simple functions then work up to using more complicated code (if needed).

For the whole HTML and CSS part... you will learn more once you practice. But for the PHP / MySQL section. It will be easy to learn.

What you should do if anything is make a simple single player version of this in javascript and then go off of what you learn from that to make it into an online game.
