I think you aware of MY-SQL database, I assumed that you already have a knowledge to define database, creating tables and some manipulation commands in sql. Here I am going to explain how to connect the databse with PHP.

<html> 
<head> 
<basefont face="Arial"> 
</head> 
<body> 

<?php 

// set database server access variables: 
$host = "localhost"; 
$user = "root"; 
$pass = ""; 
$db = "testdb"; 

// open connection 
$connection = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die ("Unable to connect!"); 

// select database 
mysql_select_db($db) or die ("Unable to select database!"); 

// create query 
$query = "SELECT * FROM symbols"; 

// execute query 
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Error in query: $query. ".mysql_error()); 

// see if any rows were returned 
if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) { 
    // yes 
    // print them one after another 
    echo "<table cellpadding=10 border=1>"; 
    while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) { 
        echo "<tr>"; 
        echo "<td>".$row[0]."</td>"; 
        echo "<td>" . $row[1]."</td>"; 
        echo "<td>".$row[2]."</td>"; 
        echo "</tr>"; 
    } 
    echo "</table>"; 
} 
else { 
    // no 
    // print status message 
    echo "No rows found!"; 
} 

// free result set memory 
mysql_free_result($result); 

// close connection 
mysql_close($connection); 

?> 

</body> 
</html>

Everything is clearled commented for you, Just create a table with the name symbols, and create three fields (id, country, animal) ex: 1, india, tiger. Insert about 5 to 10 records. Give a correct host, user, password of your mysql. Thats it! Ask if you not clear.
