Basically I need to create a quick way of adding information to separate tables that are in turn added in a specific place on a page.
What I want to do is add things into boxes which are then added into a certain place in the table (and also a couple of other bits like defining the a name= bit.
How would I go about doing this?

Are you just asking how to write to and read from a database?

Is that what he meant? Because I can't make much sense of what he wrote.

Maybe, I don't know since I don't know what doing this would involve.

(yes I realise there's a lot of useless junk in there but it was far easier to copy and paste)
That's the layout of the table. I have a lot of these tables to do and doing them in notepad just takes ages so I'm hoping to make a little php form that I can fill in which will then add the table with the information I've added onto another php page with all the other tables.
I also want the <a name=""> bit filled in using another field.
The second row is full of headers so they won't need to change, all the others will though. Also I'll need an option to add extra rows to the form if I need to because the number will vary slightly.
So how would I go about doing this?

What data is it that you are wanting to enter into the form, and display in the tables?

You could write a PHP script that takes all the values for each table from a text file (or whatever else you want to use) and echos them out in the HTML you had above.
