I have just finished learning some features my MySQL and I want to test my skills on making a site. I also know PHP. I am going to learn more, but I am getting bored of just reading and doing examples so I want a site that I can do something interesting at the same time.

Any ideas? Not an ecommerse site as I do plan to make one, one day but not know. Any other ideas?

Okey, there's something that's isn't difficult, but trains with the SQL.

make a simple login and register web application
with a email confirming part, so user gets a mail with a link to confirm their email, encrypted passwords and a log of registrations, logins and email confirmations.

this is something would have great use for later on in your programming
to look back at, and refine, and it is a a great start to understand the flow.

Login/Logout system sounds like a great idea. You could make a visitor counter. Every time a page is visited (or, rather, the PHP script is called) it increases the count in database. You should also present this number somewhere and log IP address and other client info (such as browser type, country, etc).

Extending the idea of recording the IP addresses, you can use the number of distinct IP addresses to report the number of unique visitors to the site over the past day/week/month/year.

Another idea would be a simple blog site: use a login to control access to posting new blogs, store blog entries in the database, serve up blog entries to users along with basic search functionality.

The blog idea is a great idea. It would be a great opportunity to create a databse, login/logout system and generally a great CRUD application idea.

You could also create a directory type website where users can submit other website into a categorical listing/structure.

Create, Read, Update and Delete -"the four basic functions of persistent storage".

Create, read, update and delete - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Odd term though, huh?

How about a cinema site, or a campaign to abolish the slave trade?
