Highscore Creation Questions

Howdy all. I was intending to make a highscore list for one of my games but I’m not the greatest when it comes to server-side things. So in order to do this I would probally need a MySQL database wouldn’t I? I have created one, but have not done anything to it yet because i’m still reading on how things are done. But I was wondering if anyone here could give me an idea on how to do what i’m trying to do, and any links to a good site to help me learn more on this subject. And info is usefull, thanks in advance.
