    Not neccesarily hard, but certainly complex. You need passwords, security, and lots more.

    There's an intro to doing databases. Pretty straightforward to get something running... then it's just using that for what you want.

    Forms are easy.... just send the values, which are available in php as variables. You will set the method of the form like:
    <form method="post">
    It will be either post or get. Depending, the value of a field like:
    <input type="text" name="user">
    Will be available in either:
    $_GET['user'] or $_POST['user']
    (I'd recommend post as get puts it at the end of the url, like index.php?user=ben, and that will get annoying if there is a lot of info, and a potential security issue if a password is sent.)
