Yup. Probably mysql too, if you want to store user data in a more
structured way.

Mysql/PHP is the next area to master, and getting a good Apache
installation. Suggest you start with a decent Linux machine with a
reasonable amount of RAM: its less of a pain to administer once its up,
than anything based on Microsoft.

There are suites of software than can help (or hinder?) a project like
this. But beware of these, hackers know them rather well, and if you
aren't really on top of what they do, they can end up being huge
problems to get to do what you want securely. I don't use them, I prefer
to understand the problem and start again from square one. YMMV.
