Need help selecting records from mySQL dbase and printing them

I need to generate a page that allows users to search for a record in my database and then print that record in a specific format.
I'm pretty new to this and I don't know how to do either function.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

 

Hello,
here you have an example http://html-resource.com/mysql.html where say Browse Information

This is easy for example:

$sql ="Select * from table";
$result= mysql_query($sql);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
echo $row["field_name"];
}
