Need to create a website that feeds from a database. Just starting.....

I am new to this forum and php. I have been around html for many years, so I understand the code for websites. I just need some help getting this started with incorporating a simple database into a website. In basic terms, I want to create a website that will search through my products and then return those products/pictures/description back to the website for the visitor to see. I have found a site that is layed out basically the way that I will have mine. This site will not be used for ordering, just for viewing the products. It will be a jewelry site and I would like to give the visitor the option to choose filter through all the products rings, bracelets, necklaces, etc. They search for diamond rings and I would like to have the search go through the database and return all the results. My problem starts with getting the information back to the page. Can anyone point me to the correct string (if there is one on this exact topic). Any help is greatly appreciated in advance.

Many thanks to everyone who can send me any recommendations.

You will need to learn Database Normalization, SQL, PDO and Prepared statements and CRUD to say the least. Here is a start to PDO https://phpdelusions.net/pdo

For being new to Php what you want to do is rather advanced. If you need this sooner than later your best bet is to hire someone. You need to learn the basics of Php before you even start thinking about Databases.
