Forms in PHP

Hi all,

I am sorry for the silly question but It is my second day on PHP and
MySQL so please be patient.
I have defined a database (clinical research) in Access, but I do not
like that way and I would like to port it in MySQL.
I think that the best way the users (my collegues) will have to input
the data we need is creating one (some) forms in HTML so that the data
can be added to the database through PHP.
This is the idea, and I have already started to define the tables in
MySQL, the question is : what is the best way to create these forms (I
mean in HTML and PHP code) ?
I think not to be the only one to have this problem and I hope that
somewhere is possible to find templates to modify. I would prefer
create everything from scratch but the time I can dedicate to learning
PHP is probably not enough for that.

Thank you in advance for any help

Diego

You can use HTML_forms package from PEAR. There is a good article here:

I am new to php also but have some info here under Templating:
