PHP Script for MySQL?

Dear friends:

I have a diamonds site called Immortal Gems, which is an affiliate of Mondera, at:

http://www.immortalgems.com

Mondera has a MySQL database which can be accessed with a PHP script. Unfortunately, they cannot help me with the technical details.

The good news is that my web host offers the Cpanl with both MySQL and PHP. That seems to be the major prerequisite. I have also downloaded the MySQL Query Browser from www.mysql.com. Is this the right tool for the job?

So, I have set about trying to learn what I can online. I found a great tutorial at:

http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources...les/ddws/2.html

Being a real novice, I am not quite sure how to proceed with my project. I do NOT need to create a database, only to connect Mondera's MySQLdatabase with my site using a PHP script. It shouldn't be difficult, but my problem is that I no idea how to do this, how to proceed.

I have created two sample product catalogue asp files from the Mondera Affiliates Tools site. One is in xml format and another is in txt format. Which is better to use?

I would really appreciate some general advice, based on the information provided above as to how I should proceed. Also any additional tutorials that will serve my limited objective (i.e. connecting to a dabase rather than creating one).

Thank you so very much.

Benjamin
