I would like to create this kind of matching site by myself. Which classes should I take? I guess I should use PHP and mySQL but I cannot find the right course on treehouse.

You could use php an mysql, or ruby and postgresql, or node and mongo, or python and mysql...you're not limited by the technology stack you choose here. So pick the one you're most comfortable with dive in. php and mysql is probably the most common entry point for newer developers, but it doesn't make it "best".
I don't think you'll find specific videos to build that, but you can learn enough to take what you learn, and apply it to building that.

You could use:
- JavaScript Stack.
- Python Stack.
- RoR Stack.
- PHP Stack.
- And I think even the Java Stack.
If you want to create WordPress templates then you must use the PHP Stack. Check the Tracks sections!

12,390 PointsI checked most of the videos of php courses but I still cannot find the video of how to build the search forms on which I choose a category from a pulldown menu or radio buttons or something like that and the result is displayed.
Please help me.

23,289 PointsThat's just a query to the database when the submit button is clicked. I doubt there are specific videos that teach you how to do a search box but I know there are some that teach you how to query the database

12,390 PointsThank you for your response Jesus and Kevin. I have been looking for the video for a long time. If someone knows, please let me know.
Kevin Korte
28,149 PointsNo problem, as Jesus said, there is likely no specific video to walk you through exactly what you need to do here, but you should check out the entire php/mysql video tracks, as it will teach you how to write your own queries to submit to databases, and populate form elements.
There isn't a fast track here, unless you just want to buy the wordpress theme if it does what you need it to.

12,390 PointsWhy is there no videos? It's a very simple thing. There are so many videos and there should be one.
Alena Holligan
Treehouse TeacherIf you want to to filter data by category, you could use something like this https://teamtreehouse.com/library/integrating-php-with-databases/limiting-records-in-sql/filtering-data-by-category
If your wanting the form to submit automatically upon changing your selection, you would use javascript to submit the form "onChange".
