ok man. since nobody is helping you.

you have to make sure your wallet is set up to have RPC connections

use a standard php RPCclient (google it)

learn the bitcoin API, its pretty well universal on the altcoins.

anyway, you can get data from it. learn how to parse JSON objects into usable text.
 
create a php page. tell it in an if isset (whatevervariable) to submit _GET[thisvariable] as a request to the wallet to get data on that transaction.
 
inside page, create in nested html a text field which allows a user to input thier txid. when they submit, make sure it submits to the current page. that will set the variable from above.

tl;dr

I can write you a simple one, but that would cost a little.
