well... is simple. to estabish a mysql connection use:
PHP Code:
mysql_connect("server","username","password") 
to select a database:
PHP Code:
mysql_select_db("db_name"); 
to perform a mysql query:
PHP Code:
mysql_query("query string");

First you need to make a database from your admin panel. (hope you know to do that)

Then the following script would give the basic concept of connecting:

PHP Code:
<?php

$username = "your_db_username";
$password = "your_db_password";
$database = "your_database_name";
$host = "your_host_address";

$db_handle = mysql_connect($host, $username, $password);
$db_found = mysql_select_db($database, $db_handle);

if($db_found){
     print "Auuraah You sucessfully connected!";
     mysql_close($db_handle);
}else{
     print "ahh Try Again!!";
}
?>
