Yearbook database style, Round two

$

I asked this question before, but have surrendered to the idea that I need some kind of database: "I want to make an online directory that allows me to simply post a large directory of listings featuring a photo, name, and short description (akin to how old year books looked)." This doesn't change the fact that I don't know how to build databases or make anything like this. One person mentioned "XML + XSLT," but google results frightened me away. If I'm going to try to make this myself, what should I be looking up? What is the easiest way to do this? How can I make this happen?
I can handle css, some jquery, and html. I want people to be able to quickly find entries (by state, city, name, etc), and have the database spit out what looks like yearbook entries (with just a tad more text).

Thanks.
