I'm learning this can be a tough crowd.

Nooze: I think you're asking for too much advice for a forum like
this - but everything you want to do is doable if you're willing to
invest the time. Here's my advice for the fisherman-in-training:
Break your project up into pieces with increasing complexity (pretty
much what you're already doing). Read the php and mysql stuff at
w3schools. Read, as Jerry suggested, about sql injection - this is
security and so is important, but not hard to put reasonable measures
in place. All this will get you 80% of the way there, and will
probably take you a few days if you have a reasonable aptitude
otherwise. Then, come back and ask more specific questions.

Best Regards,
Aerik

P.S. I've gone down pretty much the same path you're on, FYI, and
learned a pretty reasonable amount from scouring tutorials.
