Create new Three.js object based on user form input

I apologize for the extremely general question and I would like to preface this by saying that I'm not looking for anyone to "answer" my question, per se. I'm familiar with SO and I know that I'll get in trouble for not being specific. That said, I would like to ask the question anyway and see if I can at least be put on the right track. My problem, briefly:
I've created an interactive globe using Three.js. I've hardcoded various markers on the face of the globe that represent different projects and milestones my company has completed. I want to create a back-end application (really just a password protected page) that allows my co-workers to add new markers to the map with basic information including coordinates, title of project and a description. When they hit submit, a new sprite object is created in the correct location on the map and with the correct descriptive information (title, description, etc).
I'm sure that if I sat with this for a month I could figure it out on my own and with much Google but I thought I'd at least posit it here, since it's fairly ambitious. Has anyone done anything similar? Should I be using PHP for this or is there an easy way to export HTML form info to JS?
Any help would be greatly admired and appreciated.

I recommend you post this question in the Three.js discourse forum instead: discourse.threejs.org They've got a more open-ended, suggestion-friendly format over there. Like you said, StackOverflow isn't very well-suited for asking for suggestions.
