Try the documentation at

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

there is a link to the mySQL website and then a big list of the php functions for accessing databases at the very bottom (just before the user comments)

I was in the same position about 2 months ago. Got myself a book called PHP Fast & Easy by Julie Meloni, and to date I've already written about 20 different scripts. The book is a great value - it teaches everything on a step-by step basis. You'll be up & running in no time!!

Just looked it up at Barnes & Noble. Here is the link:
