If you want to build something like a web form you will need to use HTML and a scripting language. A common solution to do what you are asking is to use PHP. You will need to be familiar with PHP to go further. Go to http://www.php.net to get a hold of the basics.
There is no way to write a walkthrough for your problem here as it would be quite long :o). It would also be repititive since there are millions of sites that provide such walkthroughs. Go to www.sitepoint.com, which is a web dev portal. My favortite. They have tons of usefull articles and step by step walkthroughs. >From a big picture point of view what you need to do is use PHP to generate HTML dynamically and handle application logic, database interactivity. Use the MySQL database as your data store [obviously ;)]. PHP is an excellent choice as it works very well with MySQL. If this sounds like greek then don't worry too much. Head to sitepoint.com and go to the php section and start learning. It is an excellent resource. PHP.net is a good place too although you might want to go to sitepoint first.
