newbie in need of some help

[Spectre_TKG]

Hello, how's everyone doing?

I'm trying to make a simple (or what started out as simple) project, basicaly to keep attendance records for events.

Events like, meetings and practices and things of that nature.

How ever, I know next to nothing about the databases and all that stuff so I was hoping if someone could atleased point me in the right direction?

I have the basics of it setup, right now it's just an email form, simply you imput the members who were absent/showedup/excused and hit submit it shoots an email to the members who need to recive it.
What I was hoping to do was instead of having it on email, have it all saved on the website itself and a user could browse through the attendnace records on the site itself rather then having to dig them up through emails.

The things I'm not sure of how to do are geting it to save a record to the database, then call the records and allowing the user to search through them.
If someone could help me out by pointing me in the right direction it would be most appreciated.
