Call a PHP Script and MySQL Value?

I was wondering how I could do this.

I have a little test database in MySQL. I also have a couple little test pages that I'm using with PHP and MySQL. What I want to know is, can I create a single PHP script, call it, then use the values I have in my database to become the values for the stuff in my webpage when it loads?. I want a script that can be Like this:

<?php 'Call PHP Script' ?>
$'Variable' = 'MySQL Value';
*Not actual code.

I'm doing it this way because of a little lottery program I have and I want to just change values in my database and have them become the values of my page. I hope this isn't too confusing...I even confused myself, I just don't know how to word it better.

Edit: I kind of mean like an automatic php/mysql script that will load on the page startup/refresh.

Edit 2: I was also hoping I could pass some info through it so it picks up the correct value. Like calling a php script giving it the name of the value and having it return the value itself. Please stop me if I've lost you.

umm, do you want the page to generate random numbers, or are there already values you have in the database?

Basically I want a php script to get a mysql value and use that mysql value as the value for the variable in my page. Like say I have a little html random number generator. I want to be able to change the random number generators variables by changing values in my mysql database. So I have it set to get 3 numbers, then I can just change the variable on my mysql database and have it get 10 numbers without having to go inside the html.

well to get something from a database you use this code:

PHP Code:

---

$sql = "SELECT * FROM `mytable` WHERE row='something'";
$query = mysql_query($sql);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($query);
echo $row['column'];
