The basic idea is to create a form

<form method="post" action="yourfile.php">
<input type="text" name="ur_name"/>
<!-- some more input fields here -->
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Form!"/>
</form>

and then inside yourfile.php do something like

<?php
$name=mysql_escape_string($_POST['ur_name'];
//and same goes for other fields
if( some verification you want here) {
mysql_query("INSERT INTO TABLE_NAME (name, and other values separated by , ) values ('$name')");
}else{
//do something else
}
?>

To display the info:

<?php
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users");
$count = mysql_num_rows($query);
$smth=mysql_fetch_array($query);
if ( $count > 0 ) {

  echo $smth['name']
  //and other from array
} else {
echo "no data can be retrieved for specifed conditions or smth like that"; }
?>

Bare in mind that I wrote this in 3mins and that this is not completely correct way of doing things and it can be prone to a lot of hacks. This is just to give you a basic idea on how to do things. Check W3 schools to see how to INSERT, GET, DELETE, CHANGE etc. stuff from a MySQL database using PHP.

Hope this helps you out a bit.
