Advice for new web app

Hi I wanna built a new web app. I need some advice about the best way or tools I need to accomplish my goals.

The web app will work like this:

  1. A new new user can register for the web app
  2. They have a account where they store personal information
  3. They can see the personal information and change it
  4. Based on the changes I want to send an email based on the changes
  5. I want to send them an email every three months to check if the information is still correct

What's the best way to built such an app? Thanks!

If you don't get what I mean please let me know :)

I would recommend a backend language such as PHP to access a database such as mySQL to accomplish this.

^ This is a good track to get you started.

You would store the users personal information in a Database such as mySQL and use a backend server language such as PHP to access and modify the data stored in the mySQL database and can even create PHP functions to automatically send your e-mails every 3 months.
