Yes -- FrontPage adds a ton of unecessary crap that you don't really
need.

You're probably best off just learning some HTML (it isn't difficult).
To create a textbox called "foo" you would simply include this inside
your <form> tags:
<input type="text" name="foo" />
The value of this box can then be used on the PHP page to which the
form submits (look at the "action" attribute of the <form> element).
Depending on the "method" attribute of your <form> element (get or
post) the value will live in $_GET['foo'] or $_POST['foo']. It will
also always live in $_REQUEST['foo'].
