Hi Sean, I'd suggest looking at some of the PHP and database tutorials available, for the database you most likely would be interested in learning about MySQL, at least at first. There are a lot of good resources on the PHP website at http://www.php.net and good MySQL documentation available at http://www.mysql.com.
If you look at the PHP mailing list you will find there is a lot of discussion about PHP books. I'd also suggest looking on amazon.com and reading the reviews of books for PHP and MySQL, one of my favorites was "PHP and MySQL Web Development" but there are a lot of other excellent books available as well. Some good resources for finding already existing scripts is www.hotscripts.com, www.zend.com, http://php.resourceindex.com by looking at existing code you can get a feel for how you might do something. Before you set out to create a database driven website you need to decide what you want your website to do, does it really need to be database driven? It is not that hard to create such a website but why introduce overhead that you really don't need.
