I'm looking for a source of information that will provide me instructions on how to build a PHP page like this:

It's going to be a page which calculates the position of a sporting team on a ladder depending if they win or lose.

The user will input two teams and their scores. A win is worth 4 points and a loss is 2. The points inputted will determine the winner. The PHP coding then calculates both of the teams new position on the ladder.
 
That sounds really easy. Roughly what I have below should set you in the right direction:

<form action(just handle on this page) method="POST">
Select the winning team:
<select>
<option .....team names...
<option .....
etc

Select the second team:
<select>
<option .....team names...
<option .....
etc
sumbit button and end form.

<?php

$winner = $_POST['...option from select one..']
$looser = $_POST['....option from select two...']

for (i=0;i<totalnumberofteams;i++)
if (team = $winner){
team[score] = team[score] +4;
}

some for losers if you need to add two to their score.


This is really beginner php stuff, why not start working through a tutorial like the one below:
