Error add user, directory, etc. via cgi

Hello All (yes I mean you):

I'm a self taught programmer, so please bear with me and my ignorance.

What I Am Trying To Do:

I am attempting to create a user (and all the accompanying attributes like a home directory, entry in the passwd file, disk quota allotment and skel selection for a chrooted account) on a redhat linux 6.2 installation via an html form.

My Problem:
I don't know how to do it.

Any suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated! Samples scripts would be even better!

Thank you, All, in advance for your assistance.
