New complex website

Please know where I am starting;  I am a windows sys admin.  I have run and maintained several websites that are simple, html.  I have minor experience with perl, asp and php.  I have separate experience with DB's as well, but very little with mysql.
So.
   I now want to make a more complicated website, but I am not sure what questions I should be researching, process, or tools that might help.
   The website will be a pay to register or subscription based.  The website will maintain a DB of information on each user, and run queries to match information.  Now that I think about it, kind a like a dating website.  Two users login, enter a bunch of info, and then a search will find matches.

So where do I start????
I have never done a login website.  I am not sure how to right a website that will use functions to query a DB or even populate it.  I need to know if there are any good tools I can use, and what I should be researching.  So simple links would be awesome.

Thank you all!
