360 PointsDatabase creation and searching with filters?
Essentially I'm making a website that will store user filled data from forms into a database. Then users can search the database to find forms similar to theirs.
1) How do I create a data base using PHP or MySQL? (or is there some way to do this with html)
2) How do you set up the databases to be searched by filters or query?
I'm still relatively a beginner with this, so if you could provide a thorough answer that would be appreciated greatly.
Thank you.

After you've learned about some of the basics of databases, come back here and post any questions you still have.

6,153 PointsNo offence but, looking at your questions, I would seriously consider reading up on MYSQL basics.
Treehouse has a MYSQL section in development - http://teamtreehouse.com/roadmap that should get you started.
Also there are the official MYSQL docs http://dev.mysql.com/doc/#manual where you can find the manual for all the latest versions of MYSQL.
You mentioned PHP in your post and yes PHP goes together with MYSQL very well and Treehouse offers a great course in PHP.
Hope this gets you on the right track!
