Courses for creating matching sites

I am looking for courses to create matching sites as follows: http://expedia.co.jp Please tell me which courses I should take. I want to use PHP and mySQL if possible.

If wanting to use PHP, mysql, the obvious place to start is https://teamtreehouse.com/tracks/php-development . You might also want to do some CSS/HTML courses for layouts (the first 7 courses from https://teamtreehouse.com/tracks/web-design).

I guess I cannot make a matching website like expedia even if i finish that course.

treehouse teaches the basics, but doesn't cover everything. for example, i think they might not cover sessions, cookies, login, how to scale, and you might need some more information about databases (transactions, procedures etc). But i think that the PHP track should give you enough information to find out more. (i took PHP courses at treehouse, pluralsight and Lynda, and i still have to google some techniques)

Ok I will finish the course. Thanks for your advice.
