Hi Lee,

As others have mentioned, this is too broad a question for a good
answer from the group.

Here's a rough outline of what you need to study to work out your own
answer:
    HTML-- <form>, <input>, possibly other form fields
    Javascript-- client-side validation techniques
    PHP-- $_GET() and $_POST(), server-side validation, data
transformation
    PHP-- the mysql_whatever() functions (or possibly the PEAR module)
    MySQL-- database definitions, INSERT queries

I think that's a comprehensive, eagle's view of the terrain. I'm sure
if I missed something really big, someone will jump in and mention it.

If you use this outline, you will probably have questions that are more
specific which the group would be able to respond to.
