I'm just learning php and I'm a little stuck. What I want to do is create code that will let people log in and add events that will then be stored according to their date and listed in chronological order on the main page. And I want people to be able to then go back to the events they added and edit them if they need to. So far I've only been able to figure out how to have it let someone submit the information for an event and add it to an array so that it will be listed on the main page. I'm not sure how to go about organizing the information, or having a login type feature and then integrating it all together. Are there any free codes or tutorials out there that deal with anything like what I'm describing, that I could check out? Any general how-to books that people can recommend would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
