Creating an ACP (Admin Control Panel) for my community (SA-MP)

Hey there.
I would like to have some of your help people, I want to create an ACP (Admin Control Panel) for a SA-MP server, I guess you know what am I talking about. To edit accounts through the ACP, to remove bans, to change passwords, etc.
I have no idea from where should I start, I never created an ACP before.

Can someone help me please?
SA-MP stands for San Andreas Multiplayer, right?
I had to Google it.

An admin CP has to be made to work with the account/game data. How is the das stored for your server? Is it stored in a DB? If so, what type of DB? Is the data stored in files? Idk shit about San Andreas, but have created other AdminCPs. Let me know some details and I'll see how I can help 🙂
Yes SA-MP stands for San Andreas Multiplayer, excuse me.
I'm not the owner of the server, I'm the manager but we would like to make an admin cp, the community has been there since years and didn't find an experienced guy that would like to help us. Actually the server is stored in a DB, could you be so kind and help me?
Doing something like this is a literal pain in the ass. DB is one way to go about it for managing game data, but you probably need to incorporate more columns for user notes and sha-bang. And probably some rcon integration as well.

I personally don't know jack shit about this, but best of luck to you and your endeavor.
You would need to know some kind of programming.
You'll need HTML/CSS knowledge, and possibly Javascript if you need it to be fancy

You need to know SQL for making queries

Then you'll need to know PHP to hook up the site and get data to display on the page.

If you do not have this knowledge, you wont succeed unless you dedicate over a month learning. You could risk accounts being stolen through SLQi if you arent careful with your PHP code. Do you have any knowledge in any of these?
I'm guessing you want to make an ACP that is on the site, not actually in game as that would be quite difficult to program, maybe even impossible. Here is what you're going to need: html/css to make that pages on your website, it could be very simple, it's important it does the job.

Now comes the boring and difficult part. You'll need php to connect your data with that control panel and that will enable you to manage it. How that can be done? You have many languages that help you manage databases, one of them is MySQL for example.

This is going to be a painful process so if you know nothing about programming I suggest heading over to SAMP forums, maybe somebody has made something like that or search the web for finished products. If you don't find anything, then you'll need to hire somebody and it's not going to be cheap.

It was a blast being on staff. I stepped down as it's time for me to move on. I wish you all the best and if you were hit by my warnings and/or bans, it was nothing personal.

Peace out!
