Hi Humayoo,

That certainly sounds like a very big question.  But there are some 
second-language / translation / communication issues here as well, so 
maybe I can assume your question is as innocent as, "Hi. I'm really new 
at this but thought a simple CMS system might be an interesting learning 
project for me.  Can anyone recommend some beginner-level resources that 
touch on CMS design?"

In answer to *that* question, I would recommend something like _PHP and 
MySQL Web Development_, by Luke Welling and Laura Thomson.  Very 
beginner-oriented I thought (it starts off with a section called "PHP 
Crash Course"), and contains a section (30 pages out of 800 in the book) 
on "Building a Content Management System".  Might be useful for you. 

Good luck learning  --  don't forget to learn the basics as you go 
along.  Also, this article will be /very/ useful for you as you go along 
learning.  Bookmark it and refer to it now and then; you'll learn a lot:

All the best,
