Is it possible to have an input text box such that when a person types something and presses submit or enter, I can trigger PHP to submit that data to a database without leaving the page (hence the JavaScript)?

You’re going to want to look into something called AJAX. I won’t add any code here because there are thousands of excellent tutorials out there that will be much more thorough than I can type here. I would recommend using the jQuery Javascript library to help out.
