I have seen so many tutorials, but none have covered everything. From what I have found, I could make a CMS (php & mySQL) with an install script, a file to add stuff to the database, a file that edits the data and a file that retrieves the data and displays in. Basically, a way of editing simple content and displaying it.
I am looking and failing for any help/ideas on adding categories to the database, and archives page that can arrange the posts by category, a login and security script and comments.
Any help of any of the above would be extremely useful, thanks in advance,

I'm sure I've seen a nicer tute somewhere else, but http://www.intranetjournal.com/php-cms/ is not a bad starting point.
Sorry, I misread your question there. Hmmm.... what about using a framework like Ruby on Rails or Django to do the tedious work for you? If you take your custom solution much further you'll end up replicating something that's been done many times before, at least with ones of these guys a lot of the grunt work is done already.... -
I agree with 3stripe. If you are planning on coding it yourself in PHP you should take a look at the PEAR libraries which are available. These are prewritten classes for the most common tasks. There are prewritten classes for user authentication for example. Most of the extensions come with full documentation to help guide you through and they definately help reduce the amount of coding you have to do.
