Retrieving data from a database question

I'm trying to take information from a database and display it on my website.

I'm also trying to have users be able to send information to a database. ( i.e. creating an account and such)

I've watched the database foundations and the PHP and MySQL videos however, I'm still a little uncertain on how to do this. And I've already made the database along with the forms.

Can anyone give me an example or something on how to do this?

Any advice is much appreciated.

Well you need to first setup a database connection through PHP using MySqli or PDO, after that you can send queries and retrieve the information.
