I would recommend you the following:
1. save the form data with the coordinates
2. create a file called getPoints.php
3. This file should return an XML like document, a KML containing the
data you want to show in the map (maker names, coordinates,
descriptions, etc)
4. Load your map as always and include the following:
var geoXml = new GGeoXml("getPonits.php");
map.addOverlay(geoXml);
This will add to the map all the markes loaded from the DB with the
corresponding description...
I would recommend you to use this pretty simple script I've made to
fetch data from the DB and display it as a KML in order to be loaded
then in the map...
