if you are using mysql, there should be plenty of examples here:

First you should have to know about basic my sql commands like select,update,delete...
and you have to create a table in your database according to your requirements...
and know how to connect to a data base by using php...and then write your sql queries in your php page...
these two are the line used to connect with database:
mysql_connect('localhost','username','passowrd');
mysql_select_db('daname');mysql_query() -is used to execute sql quries in php...
mysql_fetch_array() -used to retrieve data from db...
And follow the material:

implement your applications in your way...
notify us if any doubts....
all the best...
