I would highly recommend doing it with PHP. In a nutshell, it is basically inserting an SQL query into your web page and then generating some HTML in a loop as you read each row of the result. You can probably find a PHP + SQL/MySQL tutorial on the web that would show you what you need to get started. Of course, there are lots of other ways, including a perl script that generates a static HTML page, or run the same script as a CGI. The possibilities are endless. You could even make a sed script that interacted with the mysql client and munged the output into html. But PHP is one of the nicest and easiest ways to do it.
