title: How does one implement a MySQL database into a webpage?
body: <p>I am a complete database newbie. So far, I know that I can connect to MySQL using PHP's mysql_connect() command, but apart from that, I really don't see how to take that data and put it onto a web page.</p>
  
  <p>a) are there ways other than mysql_connect()</p>
  
  <p>b) lets say I had a table of data in mysql and all I wanted was for that table (for example: list of names and telephone numbers) to now appear on my web page. I can't for the life of me find a tutorial for this.</p>
