Starting a script from scracth that displays a user's account / account expiry

[arvin2212]

Hello, I am providing a service where users can add their stuff to the server and the server would download it for them. My question is, i'd like to create some sort of database where they could access , and it would show their username , when their account would expire and how long more until their account expire (days,hours,minutes,seconds). Also the link to access their ftp folder + their storage folder which i would provide (each user has a different port for their storage).  I could do it in html but it's too time consuming. As i have quite a number of users, it would take up time to manually edit everything each time. Therefore , i don't think it would be efficient in this. I have very little knowledge in php but a little guidance would definitely be great.

 

Here is a picture i found from another provider that is roughly like what i want.

I would start with some simple tutorials on php & mysql syntax, connecting to a database and performing queries. Your requirement is simple and shouldn't take long to implement.

There is tons to go through after a bit of googling.
