I'm trying to create a website that accepts submissions into a form, and then later on I can display it in tables organized by categories, similar to how RateMyProfessors does it:

http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/SelectTeacher.jsp?sid=399

To me, my main concerns are:

Figuring out a good way to read in submissions and save it into a database in the backend,
and

Displaying the data in organized tables on the frontend.
I know HTML, have worked with Google Web Toolkit a fair bit, and a little bit of MySQL. However, I don't know anything about PHP and only a little bit of Javascript. Any suggestions of what I should use?

I'm constantly going to w3school for everything. So if later on you want ajax or jquery or svg or whatever it is all there.

For PHP you will have to constantly have to refer to the manual.
