[phpesp-general] Is ESP right for me?

[Purple R. <ra...@el...>]

I run a popular gaming site and very recently another gaming site handed
me their code because they were closing down.

The main attraction of their website is that they ACCUMULATED Battle
Results and CALCULATED different stats with it.

That was an amazing feature because they tallied more than 10,000 battle
results.  Unfortunately, they did it all by hand! =(  Basically, if a
user had a result, they would submit it via e-mail to the webmaster and
he would hand-calculate it and add it to the site.

Well, I'm hoping for something automated and here's my idea:

Say for instance, there are 10 different armies in the game we play.
When a user comes to this BATTLE RESULTS page, they choose which are the
armies involved in the battle (probably best with a survey type multiple
choice) - so they choose Army B DEFEATS Army C.

He hits submit and the data is sent to a database and it's stored.
Then, on the following pages, the user can choose to view these stats ::

a) A list of each army stating the amount of battles fought for each,
the amount of victories, and the winninger % of each army.

b) A table displaying the army vs army winning percentage.  So it
basically lists all the armies on the X axis and all the armies on the Y
axis, and lists % of victories against each respective army.

c) A Table that states which is the most popular armies, in order.

That's it!

Bonuses?  IP-logging and graphical representation ... 

I asked a friend for an opinion and she suggested that I go with PHP and
MySQL, but unfortunately, I don't know either of those.  
 
So then I come across PHPESP, is this the right tool for me?
 
I'm thinking of giving the users to questions - the first is to choose
the WINNER of the battle (multiple choice style), the second is to
choose the LOSER of the battle ... then from that, the system will be
able to use the stats to calculate what I want... (I will also take
other information, like date, type of battle, etc)... but I'm just
wondering, is this the right tool for me?  phpESP?
 
Thanks for your input!
