I've done this two ways.

1. Write the form using html and have it post to an additional cgi that 
reads or writes the db. This this works because wiki coexists with 
other cgi scripts in the server environment.

2. Write the data into wiki itself using the usual editing conventions. 
Write a script that reads this information out of wiki's flat files and 
produces the reports you want.

I've found 2 to work much better than 1 for thousands of pieces of 
information. If you have millions of pieces of information you are 
better off with a proper database.
