Someone asked me to design a database and implement it using MySQL. Additionally, I am also asked to write PHP scripts so that one can do some "simple" data analysis with the data inside MySQL. It is not very complicated. It is like a school database and I will have to write programs that will retrieve all the classes that a student has taken and stuff like that.

I am wondering how much I should charge for this kind of project.

+1  A: 

Work out time and charge a rate that you think it will cost you. Freelance rates vary hugley by location and skill level. Also what about the clients budget? Lots of factors will play a part

Also google a little, there is plenty of data out there.

I am still a student and my client doesnt have that much budget for this project. That's why they want me to do it.

You have answered the question then. Work with what budget is available.
