Project ideas/advice

This may be a hard one to answer but I'll try my luck with some advice anyway!

Im in the last year of my IT degree, and for the last 6 months of this Im required to complete a commercial project for a client of my choice. I have only had limited exposure to both delphi and java as I regretfully opted for system support and not the programming stream of the degree.

I am in the process of learning php and my sql with some help from Kevin Yanks godsend of a book. My database/sql knowledge is intermediate and my html/design skills are good.

With all this in mind, Im looking for advice on what sort of client and project would be appropriate for my skill level. I really have no idea what sort of client to look for and what some of the more common uses for database driven websites are.

Any ideas or advice would be very appreciated, sorry about theinspecific nature of this post. Im really interested to hear about some of the more common practicle uses for php and dynamic websites.

Cheers

Ant

*kevin yank* shudders, evil!

Since its for an IT degree, you want it to be *wanky*, so that it makes you go *wow*. If your looking for idea, you may want to wander around our scripting section for ideas.

I would actually give some examples, but ive got a bloody headache, therefore, i refuse to think.

Ant,

Database-driven sites are pretty much everywhere you look nowadays. You could create some sort of intranet that can be used by a group of people to communicate with eachother. It can support anything from uploading shared files to discussion forum (a simple one).

Just an idea...
