Have you looked at Ruby on Rails?  It might look like overkill for
what you want (and probably is), but with the scaffold generators it
will build the web forms for you and though you think that is all that
you want perhaps in the future you will want more capability, in that
case RoR will help you do pretty much anything and turn your forms
into a full blown web application.

On top of that it is great fun.
