I am not a PHP expert, and I turn to you all for some advice.

I would like to be able to provide access to a database through a
simple web portal. The system I have in mind would allow another
system to pass an SQL query to a URL in the form:

http://www.somewebsite.com/phpportal/query?=[normal sql query
text]

and return the results in the form of a table (or a csv string or
similar) that could then be read and processed by the calling
application.

I can envisage that such a thing would be possible, but would like to
know if there is a standard set of code that would do this.

Thanks for your advice.
