this has probably been asked many times. I feel too stupid to even attempt to do it myself.
I just installed mysql. I have no idea how to even start it, or configure it for use with apache. Can't find a readme file in the mysql directory.

it installs as a service, normally.. which means it starts when your machine does. As for getting it to work with Apache, they don't interact

Well, I mean with PHP.
It is installed as a service. I have it open right now (I think). So I just start making code for tables and queries and stuff and it will work? Seems a bit too easy.

provided you have the mysql extension(s) installed and they loaded correctly, yep. MySQL server should have installed any libraries required beyond the php-mysql client... I believe you need to use the mysqli client, fyi.
