I think the reason you don't find things like this online is that
they're so easy to write and the authors probably don't think anyone
would want their ugly hacked up custom code.

You could try it yourself.  PHP is easy to use.  All that you really
need is at:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/
http://www.php.net/manual/en/
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/index.html

You can find code to read for examples out there on the 'net.  There's
books on PHP and MySQL (sometimes called LAMP
(Linux/Apache/MySQL/(PHP/Perl))) in stores, or the library.
