i would like to create a script that has 4 input boxes once filled out the content should be inserted into a table above the form. Here is a picture of what i need done.

Im a newbie and would like to learn how todo this so please guide me or direct me to a tutorial to accomplish it.

What you'll probably want to do is have the info from the form entered into a database and have the table reading the values in that same database. Typically the database used with PHP is MySQL, but it doesn't have to be.

I'm also guessing you'll want the table to be updated right away without the page reloading, which suggests using Ajax to refresh the table after the new entry is added.

I'm not sure there will be one tutorial that works through exactly what you want. What you might want to do first is work through a tutorial for setting up a database and creating a form that writes to and updates the database. Then a second tutorial for displaying the contents of the database and finally a third tutorial that updates the table through Ajax without having to refresh the page.

None of the above is all that difficult. Any decent book on PHP/MySQL will show you how to create the database and read from it and write to it. You may want to grab a PHP/MySQL book to start. Once you understand how to update the database and read from it to display the table it won't be much work to update the table via Ajax.

A quick search for php/mysql tutorial led me to this page, which seems to cover the basics in individual tutorials. I haven't gone through them so I couldn't tell you how easy/difficult they are to understand. W3Schools has tutorials on both PHP and SQL.

It shouldn't be too hard to find more tutorials online. Sorry I can't recommend a specific one, but I learned the basics through reading a few books.
