Need to produce a website.

Its basically going to be a big database driven site, with 4 different tasks.

1. Selected users can log in and upload word/excel files or web links to a secure area and add tags to.

2. Other users can log in and see these files / web links for the tags they have selected or use a search facility.

3. The site displays some files that are general to all and are ok to be seen by the general public

4. The system emails all users every month telling them what files have been uploaded that are relevant to them.

I'm thinking that php/mysql would fit the bill. But as I'm trying to learn Java I wondered if this would be do able and how much more difficult would this be.

TIA
 
My web host does not support Java so its PHP/Mysql which to be honest I know more of.

If i wanted to do parts or all of this with AJAX is it worth making it in PHP first and adapting it or just going straight to AJAX?
