Yes, it's very easy. If you're storing all the user input in a database, just select all the input that the user submitted from the database and generate your HTML table from that.
In pseudo-php:
<?php
db_connect(...);
// Insert any new rows into the database.
if (isset($_POST['new_entry']))
{
db_query("insert new entry into database");
}
// Get all the rows from the database and output them in a table.
$result = db_query("select all rows from database");
echo "<table>\n";
// each database row is output in its own table row.
while ($row = db_fetch_array($result))
{
echo " <tr>\n";
echo " <td>{$row['col1']}</td>\n";
echo " <td>{$row['col2']}</td>\n";
echo " ...\n";
echo " </tr>\n";
}
echo "</table>\n";
// output the form to create a new row.
echo "<form method=\"post\" action=\"{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}\">\n";
echo " <input ... />\n";
echo "</form>
?>
Take care,
