The no-MySQL makes it a bit trickier, but you should be able to do it fairly easily. Be a great learning project. My second project was very close to this, except it used MySQL. In fact, it is still in use. When someone submits I get an email with a link. Click the link and pending submissions are listed. Clear them by checking a box, hit submit and all the good ones get moved to the "active" list, while all the bad ones get deleted.
I don't think it was more than a couple of hundred lines of code, if that. I am sure that if you give it a go you will get plenty of help where you run into trouble.

As willybfriendly says, it is a little trickier without using MySQL. A good resource is hotscripts.com and then check out the tutorials under PHP/Tips_and_Tutorials/. .
There should be something there of interest.

First you need to lay out your db and make a form to gather the information you intend to store.

Have you then looked at the information you want to store and display? These two things may not coincide and you may need some extra columns in the db that you may use for display purposes only.
You may be best to find one of the free scripts at hotscripts.com as wruk999 mentioned. You can then get the basic workings of such a script and customize as needed from there.
