Transfer data from webpage form to database

Pete,
What you're looking for is an INSERT SQL query. You can find the basic
theory and some more advanced bits 'n pieces here (specifically
PostgreSQL):

The question that you're asking is so vague that you should think about
reading up on SQL before going any further - you may find yourself
quickly overwhelmed otherwise.
