well my aim is to install hotspots for multiple places like cafes or condominiums.

I'll need the AP to direct the users to my portal to signup for a new account or to login before they can use the internet line.

so there will be many APs connecting to the server for authentication.

I'll need you to help me setup the server & also the firmware needed for the AP. currently I'm looking at these few models of APs to use

TPLINK - 2.4GHz High Power Wireless Outdoor CPE TL-WA5210G

Ubiquiti nanostaion M2 / nanostation2 loco

will prefer to use mysql for the user's record as I can do up the login pages with php easier.

You able to help me on this?

Sure. It's a common setup. A simple one would consist something like:
- a captive-portal capable wireless AP, like one running dd-wrt with
chillispot activated
- a simple web page, something like hotspotlogin.php or
hotspotlogin.pl (Google it)
- freeradius, with users stored in users file, OS user, or database (e.g. mySQL)

Start by defining your requirements clearly. e.g. Something like "I
want to have a captive portal setup for wireless users with users on
MySQL database" would be different in complexity compared to "I want
to have a captive portal and 802.1x for both wireless and wired users
with users stored in AD".

http://networkradius.com/ can support new installation, so you might
want to start there.
