If a local server is installed on your phone then yes. You need something like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.kslabs.ksweb on android

Answer 4

to avoid mess in your database, limit user's freedom in text inputs as much as possible.
Prefere select, raddio buttons, check boxes and limit to the minimum text areas as you may end up wondering how twisted is human fantasy when it comes to simple form filling.
If text areas are indispensable like for name or email ecc... you can use regular expressions to evaluate the type of input enterd before submitting:
for example you'd like to avoid user to enter numbers and special char in their name input;
or you may want to define a pattern for the email input that expects text separated by at least an @ and a . chars without illegal chars.

There is a very comprehensive tutorial about that on w3schools named php form input.
consider this your primary filtering.
People fantasy can mess up the standard you have in mind to manage the data on your db.

after that, follow @Patrik Sokol instruction to avoid the risk of sql injection in your db.

Setting up the server in your school to be accessible from the internet may involve port forwarding and firewall exeption that are intrinsic security flaws.
you may want to consider an online hosting service. A free one that has what you need (http-php-sql) is 000webhost.com.

Whatever option you chose, any(one) student will be able to connect to the web interface using a browser.
