You'll need to have access to a MySQL database server, then you need to open the link to it and execute a query.

It's all very nicely described here:

PHP MySQL Manual

 

Good luck.

Connecting to a database is done simply with mysql_connect function. You create a handle, just like for accessing a file. $handle = mysql_connect(...Mysql_connect needs the address for the database server (here in asta just use localhost), database username and a password.The connection to the database is closed with function mysql_close which takes your handle as a parameter. mysql_close($handle)
