I have actually used this at high school on my site: http://bypass.provanix.com/ and added a login.

Edit:

If you want to try it out, login with username "default" and password "default". I'm still working on the YouTube workaround - it used to work, but the site changed.

<form><input name=url><input type=submit></form>

Once the form is submitted you'll receive in your php a post variable named "url" where the user has typed the url to surf, the simple way to implement in php is:

echo file_get_contents($_POST['url']);

NB: in order to use file_get_contents properly you should have allow_url_fopen enabled in you php.ini

Using squid with a custom url-rewriter (maybe written in PHP) would provide all the required functionality - why start from scratch?
