They communicate via:
1) a connection
2) a query executed on that connection
3) If you receive result, you'll get a resultset-handle back.
Loop over it.

Depending which functions you do need, depends on the database you will use.
Just go to php.net, and start reading.
for example, for mySQL:

http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php

Also, like others suggested, get a good book.
Everything printed by O'Reilly will do. ;-)
A good book will get you going in no time.
I do not expect anybody in this newsgroup is willing to teach you all the
stuff. It is a lot, but if you had previous experience with databases and
scriptinglanguages (JSP/ASP/Perl), all will be straightforward for you.

Good luck.
