use AJAX preferably with jQuery. The process should work like this: dbclick->take data->initiate ajax request with POST to a PHP page->execute
Some sample code :
$('element').dblclick(function(){
var data = //your handler here
$.ajax({
//code here
});
});
Take a look at this: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

Check this also. Although I would recommend you search if it can be done with jquery. It will minimize your code size http://stackoverflow.com/questions/275761/how-to-get-selected-text-from-textbox-control-with-javascript – MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou Dec 11 '13 at 18:25

On page load, initiate one function which listen for double click. You can get jquery for it easily.
On click post selected text i.e. word through post(preferable) or get method to page which performs database insertion.
