Could someone help me and send me on my way on my own challenge?

Hi, I've been ad JavaScript courses for a while now and I wanted to assign myself a difficult task. Basically I want to create a 'tournament generator'. Than I started browsing the web for examples and found this site www.fifagenerator.com and that's almost exactly what I had in my head. Not do discourage myself I still would like to create my own version, for practice and personal use.

Can anybody tell me what kind of code I need to write? I don't mean, give me the code lines one at a time (though I'll probably ask for help here) but what I need to write to accomplish such a program. Like you need to know PhP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS.

JavaScript for the functions CSS for the style HTML for the browser PhP to store data?

Hope anybody gets my question. Thanks in advance.

Kind regards, Frits

You'll probably need a database server too as a place for the data to be stored and persist. Usually mySQL databases will be just the job, but you can look into various ways to connect to databases using PHP Database Objects. As always there's more than one way to go about this but I'd start with PHP and MySQL :)
