Using PHP to grab data from a database

[Cache-man]

I'm currently playing with a shop script, which does a good enough job with things.
However I want to create a PHP page seperate from the shop, that will grab a product from the shops database.

I have never done anything like this with PHP/SQL so any help would be appreciated.
I can create basic SQL queries but have never had to do this through PHP. ???

It's easily possible, but too hard to explain in a forum post so I'll leave it to the experts

I used this guide to create some simple PHP/MySQL websites - although I'm no expert with it I can make most straightforward things by using these tutorials

Cheers Ian, looks like just what I need.
