Sure - first of all what database do you use? Hopefully it is mySQL, as support for this is built in. Then go the the database specific section of the manual, e.g. mySQL Function Reference.
This will give you example code for connecting to a database. There are also some good tutorials over at http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/ if you need more help...
