Thanks to everyone who has replied so far. Lots of good suggestions to 
study.

A bit of clarification... 

I want to do things on the server so the user only has to have a 
browser be it IE, Firefox, Opera, etc. No special plug-ins, downloaded 
modules, javascript enabled in the browser, etc.

I have some basic HTML experience and some experience with PHP but 
nothing fancy in either case, just enough to grab some data from a 
MySQL database and present it on a web page using MySQL, Apache, and 
PHP.

I guess having read the comments so far the part I'm missing is a good 
reference on using HTML/PHP to do forms, etc. The knowledge I'm 
lacking is how to display a nicely formatted form, collect and 
validate user input, and return results back to the form for editing 
or viewing.
