One of the best resources for PHP is the php.net site. I use it religiously! Go to http://www.php.net (which I'm sure you've already visited), and type in the search box "mysql" (without the quotes). Then you will be brought to the page that coveres all the php-mysql functions to use. They are very simple to use. If you need examples, you should find plenty there in the "comments" sections that follow the function definitions.
