Michelle, You said you've tried tutorial after tutorial. What specific problems are you having? What kind of database are you using? Have you architected the db yet? We can't help much if we don't know what specific problems you're having (e.g. db connection problems, PHP parse errors, unexpected results, etc., etc.).
