I would like to learn how to allow a new user to register on a website. Basic info (name, email address, etc) would be entered and an account created. I seemed to have missed that in the PHP track. Is this information in the PHP track? Or is another language a better choice for this? Can I do this with PHP?

In order to allow people to register on a website you'll need to store these details in a database with something like mySQL, so you'll have to learn some SQL.
Treehouse has a course coming soon on User Authentication with PHP but you can get some practice on using SQL with PHP with the Integrating PHP with Databases course. [https://teamtreehouse.com/library/integrating-php-with-databases Good luck :)
