While we'd be happy to do it for you, you'll probably be able to get
good help locally (we're in Colorado, US, and nobody want to work with
us yanks anyway).

You could also do it yourself. Abbreviated:
1) Create a form in html, whose action is the url of the php script
that will talk to the db.
2) Create a php script that receives the request, adds it to the db,
and displays your result.

Simple, huh!<g>

For a book that caters to your situation, I suggest
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0764535617/sr=8-1/qid=1152718767/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-9997096-6361722?ie=UTF8
(PHP: Your Visual Blueprint..." from Visual Press)

Cheers,
Yong
