I agree, the small tutorial (http://www.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.php)
and the php MySQL reference/examples/useful-comments at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php on php.net should be enough
for most of what you need.

The obstacle will probably be designing the database and SQL itself, at
least if you've never used databases before.

just my 2p's worth :)
