There's really no special things you need to setup your forms. When you submit the form have the action point to your PHP script. PHP will have access to the form fields sent via the get or post you used to submit the form. In addition PHP has a set of commands for accessing PostgreSQL directly. I recommend you go to www.php.net and get the main PHP manual. Also you might want to go to www.phpbuilder.com and check their code library for examples. Its not a difficult process. I did this a few years ago for a demo application and got the info I needed from the main PHP docs.
