calling on stuff from a database

[mooseisloose]

im making a new clothing website and i want to make it using databases and php and whatnot because doing it purely in html is soooooooo time consuming its horrible.

ive made a database and its got an "items" table with collumns such as "item name" "item id" "price" sizes" etc...... but i know nothing when it comes to the php side of things. can anyone explain and/or point to simple tutorials on how to make this information come up on a page using php?

i obviously want the correct image/item name/price etc to show up on a page depending on what item is clicked on. would be so greatful if people could shove me towards the right tutorials and whatnot so i can learn this stuff. i dont wanna learn anything complecated, just what is neccesary =]

thanks

First you need to connect to your database in the PHP file using the mysql_connect() function, then select the appropriate database using mysql_select_db().

Then it's just a matter of making a SQL query and loading the data accordingly.

You can check out some tutorials/documention here.
