PHPRunner General questions

Hi
Im new to all this but I downloaded the trial version of php runner last night. I know nothing about tables and how they work. I have a little experience with php as I have run a few vbulletin forums and still do, but I have not got much indepth.
I currently have a website which is ALL html based. It is all table layouts and static information. I want a new website which people will be able to search on number of rooms, view all in a location, or by price etc. Plus a separate login area for customers, customers for me would be villa owners. So an area for them to login and add / change their villa.
I have had a mess about with the software today and created a site but I just do not know how to use it...
Will this software let me do what I want to do to my site?
Basically I just want it to be dynamic and user friendly. Currently all the villas are listed by section in a table. So all 3 bedroom villas are in one list and people need to look down the list. I want people to be able to search for a villa in a certain area, or by price, number of rooms etc but I just don't know where to start as I am not that advanced at even html let alone php!!
I have looked around for a coder to see if someone can do it for me to no avail, hence trying to learn to do it myself. I do not mind buying this software if it allows me to do what I want to do and is user friendly..
Thanks and sorry for being a newbie but we all start out as one!!

You need to make a table with fields in it for your villas, and have 3 bedroom, 4 bedroom, different areas, then all anybody has to do is search for a 4 bedroom villa in a specific area and up comes the one.

So I create a table called "villas" and in that table I put all the sizes as fields? Or have 3 bed, 4 bed etc each as a table?
Another thing I cant get around is the layout, the only options are "london", "paris" etc and I don't like those colours, is there a way to use custom ones? Thanks

Hi,
first I recommend you to have a look at the PHPRunner RealEstate template.
To set up your own colors create new style in the C:/Program Files/PHPRunner5.0/templates/styles/ directory, copy style.css file from London style for example and change it. Then you can select your style in the PHPRunner.

Hi

Thanks
I looked at the vacation template and it has virtually what I need apart from a few extra things. So basically for the style I for example pick madrid and change that to what I want with css and then choose madrid and it is now my new one?
Im still stuck at the tables bit though lol went way over my head..
