Further than that, depends entirely on what the site is for, and until you have a database structure drawn up, I wouldn't even bother thinking about a management script.
You have asked a very vague question, the best apporach would be to search the internet: link 1 link 2, then get a script going and ask specific questions if you encounter problems.

ouch on link 1 and link 2. I guess I just really have no idea where to even begin. I have an idea for a website, and I know how to do a lot of it now, but I don't really know where to start. I'll have to do some research. Thanks for the reply though.
