phppup

The form I have is on a website that is hosted by a third party that provides MySQL as an option. I've been gathering data on their server, and now want to access it through the simplest way possible to sort rresults.

I've been using a PHP form to post to MySQL. Now that I've begun to build a database, I'm ready to sort some data. I've seen references to building scripts and then running them. But EXACTLY how do i RUN the script to get results. Do I create an icon in my ftp files and double click it? Do I need to create a form and hit the submit button?? I'm sure there's a simple answer, but I don't know it. Please teach me.
