Here's what i know. you have to create a script to interface with bitcoind via json. its pretty complex especially if you aren't a programmer

Thanks for your reply. Is there any sample code available for this OR from where I can get some information on bitcoind via json?

What are you trying to do?

I would be very cautious about having private keys on a web server.

I am trying to create a website in PHP like http://www.coinbase.com where user can buy or sell bitcoins. So very first step in this is to allow users to create wallet.

no there is not. you would have to hire someone to either teach you or do it for you. i say that because i can't imagine anyone helping you build a wallet client for free. i might help you but a) i'm not willing to take on the amount of responsibility involved with such a venture b) im far to inexperienced to be embarking on such a venture without a lead programmer monitoring my involvement.

Well good luck, we need more exchanges, I wish you the best.

EDIT-

What many of those sites seem to do is have a shared community wallet and the database takes care of who owns how many.
I'm not sure I personally like that concept but it has the nice side effect of mixing transactions if you leave your coins there long enough.

If you first get the canonical Bitcoin daemon running, you can then interact with it via PHP. The main Bitcoin wiki includes a page specifically for PHP developers here:

No need to reinvent the wheel.
