PHP Script to Pull Data from SQL Table

Need a simple php script

[siteseo]

I'm running a php-enabled dedicated server. All my sites on said server incorporate simple php scripts (includes, month/date, etc.) and that's the extent of my php knowledge.

Some of my sites have SQL databases which I administer via phpmyadmin, but I've been unable to track down a simple php script to:
* open the database
* refer to a specific table
* extract data from the table
* display the data on a website

Can anyone point me to an online doc or provide a simple script to follow which I can customize for my purposes? Thanks!

Look in our library (link on the upper left of this page) for a thread on the basic of extracting data from a mysql database. That should get you started.
