New to PHP, can you guide me?

Hello, I'm looking to making a site that will do a few things : Pull information from eBay (pricing), store it in an sql database, and then display this data on my site. Of course the data it's pulling will be specific, not ALL data
My question is this: I know very, very little PHP. I know I'm going to have to start from scratch and I know I'm going to have to do lots of work. How difficult is what I want? It seems like it would be on the easy end of the PHP coding meter. I'm sure I'll need one script to pull the information and store it, then a cron job to run it nightly, but I'm kind of unsure where I should start.
I'd very much appreciate any assistance, and I want to thank those that don't just flame me for being a newbie.
