Zombie Apocalypse Survival/RPG Project

hello indie resource members, my name is krizz and I found this website for some hope to create a survival game that I imagined back in 2008 when a freind introduced me to a post-apocalyptic vampire game called "Blood Lust" (a myspace app) .
It's simple text,pictures,and numbers without studio-quality 3d animations/ intricate controls with just point and click actions runned on a 2d web page sought me into this quest to craft something different but similar to its platform but never fighting other real players and something different from the mainstream of kid's interest in ghetto/gangs and gothic/vampires
script and gameplay mechanics are written, and its hard to trust someone to let them read it ,or else my original vision is stolen. I need the knowledge of programming tags/php to make this possible, if you played Mafia wars or Blood Lust, you might have an idea on how I plan to program it:
*the math of a Health Bar's reactions to numbers directed with it
*CLICKING AN ACTION AND HOW IT AFFECTS YOUR HEALTH,STAMINA,xP, ETC.
*CLICKING AN ACTION AND THE POSSIBLE RESULTS THAT CAN HAPPEN
*ITEMS RECIEVED BY A CLICKED ACTION AND HOW THEY END UP IN YOUR INVENTORY
*MANAGING INVENTORY LIKE EQUIPING/TRADING ITEMS AND THEIR EFEECT (EX. +5 HEALTH PTS.)
*PLAYER'S PROGRESSING IN THE STORYLINE BY UNLOCKING IT

ANY LINKS THAT HAVE CODES FOR FUNCTIONS LIKE THIS AND RELATIONS THAT MIGHT INVOLVE FUTURE QUESTIONS WILL MOST DEFINTELY HELP.
My most dedicated art is practicing mixing songs and recording music I play on a keyboard (I don't consider myself a musician for its proffesional sound) It's LIKELY that I might upload music for ambience and with remixes in case the soundtrack gets old and dull. This project is worth my time waiting for some help.It Is about humanity's survival without a superhero and is inspired by the film Dawn of the Dead, Age of Empires (an RTS game), Blood Lust (MMORPG of the other undead type),and Uninvited (a Pre-Console PC txt. game from the 1970's that inspired Silent Hill). All these titles will have one of their features to add something new to the RPG Genre.

Watch Halls video tutorials. They basically teach you how to build something like that and entirely in PHP/HTML & mySQL.

Yes ,but I don't rely on local serving with WAMP since it OnLY wORks when the computer is ON,the video is really helpful but I'm using a free webhost (Yola.com) and I need a BIG list of all php programming tags and what they can do in my bidding or at least know what those Mypace Browser game apps used to write.Sorta like a Surgeon searching your insides with a scalpel.

You can find the whole PHP documentation at: http://php.net/

you only use the locahost to build the app, you put it online when you are ready.

Exactly. Do NOT develop your PHP applications on a live web server. In the process of debugging, someone may come across your page and find out way more info about your game than you wanted them to know. That would be a dream come true for a browser game hacker wannabe.
