I'm learnign PHP as i want to design my own journal for coding,i had done during my college days with search engine as first page interface.For learning PHP i have downloaded XAMPP package,and PHP designer editor.Q. I was told by someone that XAMPP can be used to create web-app locally and test it on local machine.But i want to create my cms and then i want to upload it to server.IS this
possible?
Q. Is there good tutorial for creating small cms or web-apps,using PHP & MySQL?
Q. What can i do if i'm uploading large database,is MySQL & PHP enough? or do i need some other langugae?
Q. is raw PHP code enough or do i have to use any framework like zend or cakephp?
Please help.Let me know how to proceed.

Sure - if you have FTP (or similar) access to your webhost, you can upload the scripts to it

I dont know a good tutorial, but two good books for beginners
- http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596514013/

This depends on your php configuration. If you are running on a shard host, there are typically some limits on file-upload-size (often 8MB max) and script runtimes. If your SQL Export ist bigger than your limit, you have to split it in seperate files. So basically PHP is enough.

I personally prefer learning the language first and than have a look at the frameworks. If you just want to get the thing done you could use a framework like cake or synfony. Both are good frameworks to start with. Zend Framework and EZComponents provide more flexibility in the way how to use them, but less "automated" things like generating backend forms from db-tables (scaffolding) - I see them more as component libraries than frameworks.

I can confirm that I have those two book too and they are very good.
You might also want to check out http://www.totallyphp.co.uk/ which isn't so good in the tutorial section but does have some example scripts including MySQL access. It also has some useful links.
http://www.php.net/ has documentation and also points to site with lots of scripts that you may find useful to download and work through.
Finally http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp has some good tutorials (and the homes site has great tutorials for many types of web scripting).

Have you looked at Server2Go? I like it a bit better than XAMPP:

To get around the limit I use BigDump. Works great - at least on the 50+Meg import script that I run through it.
