Something no one here pointed out which I think it's important, use the
apache/mysql/php provided by your distribution, do not try to download
some packages which will include those, you may end up with a package
with a number of security issues and no information when you should update.
Using the distributions packages will give you security updates and
usually stability where version bumps are moderate.
Don't expect someone will hand out you a full solution, people here will
help you and point out the proper way to do things, but as we do not get
paied we will not give a finished solution.
IMHO a good point to start at is php.net, you will get good information
about how to use functions and many good comments too. As Jerry says,
string handling is really important, you want to prevent any kind of
injection (sql, mail header, ldap and so on). White listing input data
is the right way to go.
