Sql and php connection help

i am very lost.

i have a one table database and i need to just list the content from that db on a php web page. i made the table in excel and a friend of mine converted that in sqk server to a .MDF file. I dont really know where to go from here. i have uploaded the mdf to my server and i know i need to write some php code to connect to it. i know the basics of some of this but can anyone help me out or guide me in some way.
