    I am planning to create English to Mizo Online Dictionary but i am not aware of how to make it. I know only little about PHP and html. In php, which criteria am I going to emphasize learning to make online dictionary. I prefer to make it on my own rather than free scripts or softwares. Please any Suggestion or any tutorial? Because i am not afforded to buy or hire someone. Thanks in advance.
    :D

<?php

$dbcfg['Database'] = 'Your database';
$dbcfg['Username'] = 'Your username';
$dbcfg['Password'] = 'Your password';
$dbcfg['Prefix'] = 'emod_';
$dbcfg['Storage'] = 'location which store definition files';

$link = mysql_connect('localhost', $dbcfg['Username'], $dbcfg['Password']);
mysql_select_db($dbcfg['Database'], $link);

function table($name) {
  global $dbcfg;
  return $dbcfg['Prefix'].$name;
}

function quote($src) {
  return "'".mysql_real_escape_string($src)."'";
}

function execute($sql) {
  global $link;
  mysql_query($sql, $link);
}

function query($sql) {
  global $link;
  $target = array();
  $result = mysql_query($sql, $link);
  while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    $target[] = $row;
  }
  return $target;
}

function post($name) {
  if (!isset($_POST[$name])) return '';
  return $_POST[$name];
}

function get($name) {
  if (!isset($_GET[$name])) return '';
  return $_GET[$name];
}

function isPost() {
  $method = strtolower($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']);
  return $method == 'post';
}

function install() {
  execute(sprintf("create table %s (code varchar(32) not null, english varchar(255) not null, primary key code);", table('definition')));
}

function addword($english, $mizo) {
  global $dbcfg;
  $code = uniqid();
  file_put_contents($dbcfg['Storage'] . $code . '.html');
  execute(sprintf("insert into %s values (%s, %s)", table('definition'), quote($code), quote($english)));
}

function findword($keyword) {
  $data = query(sprintf('select * from %s where english like '%%s%', table('definition'), quote($keyword)));
  global $dbcfg;
  $tag = array();
  for ($i = 0; $i < count($data); $i++) {
    $code = $data[$i]['code'];
    $english = $data[$i]['english'];
    $tag[$english] = file_get_contents($dbcfg['Storage'] . $code . '.html');
