I am going to begin working on a web site for my band and I would like to add a particular feature and I was interested in getting opinions on what would would be the easiest way to do it.
What I would like is a simple form, which a user can fillout with critiques/feedback on a song. After they submit the form i would like their entry to be placed on the top of a page that will contain their feedback and other similar feedback responses. This way other surfers can see what other people have to say about a song before or after they listen to it.
So my question is, would it be easier to do this with javascript, .php, or any other language. Just curious to see how others would approach this before I dig in. Thanks.
FYI I have little familiarity with web-programming languages but I do have the capacity to learn fairly quickly.

Take a look at a pre-built CMS's (Content Management Systems), they are much better than anything you would be able to put together (not an insult... just that it take a lot of work). There are a number of free ones available for trial over at OpenSourceCMS.com.

I don't think I necessarily need something so "elaborate" as what seems to be available there.
The data content never really needs to be "managed" by me. It just needs to go from the input of the user to output on a webpage. On the way there, the data only needs to be checked for a couple of "red flags", which could be done automatically in a program, and that is all.

Sounds like your best bet is a simple PHP/MySQL script. The user types in the form, the data is put into the database, and then when someone looks at the page all the data is read back out.
