yeah, its pretty much gonna be PHP with a MySQL backing. W3 schools and google are normally the best resources you can get.

If you have access to Visual Studio, however, the same thing (but much prettier) can be achieved using some simple aspx pages and commands and an access database. Problems: Visual Studio is not cheap to buy retail, and you need hosting that supports .NET (not everyone does).

Pretty easy to do, if you know any kind of structured language (C variants, Java etc) and understand how HTML headers and cookies work, its fairly easy. That and the fact that there are so many free tutorials to help you learn, its pretty sweet. Have done some fairly basic stuff with it before (mainly ripping data off forms, processing it and emailing it) but the principles are the same with databases. PHP is also on my list of things to learn, but theres a few things ahead of it now...
