you could write a simple app in QT, be it using python or c++, to query a webservice api with some key value pairs.
Since you have php/my_sql experience , setting this online api wont be such a task.
all the app needs to do is take an input ( if needed from the user ), then generate a network request to your webservice that will return the result back to your application.
thats just an overview, perhaps you already thought the same, any more details you need ?
there are plenty of apps that query online services in maemo and that are open source.

I am a reluctant PHP developer so I know enough to get by and that's about it. I have no experience whatsoever with QT or Python or C++ (apart from a minuscule understanding)

have a look at this example, there are more, but i particularily like this one since its kept plain and simple, even the usecase.
of course, there is a bit of learning curve for python/c++, but again, if you have been a programmer it wont be a mammoth task.

get the "desktop command execution widget" and put together a wget line as command to execute and display the output thereof.
see

having a look into at least python wouldn't hurt, if you consider to do some programming for the n900 yourself, the learning curve is not that steep, coming from php -- but you should know oop.

What I would like to do is to develop a simple app that just queries an online mysql database and pulls a query of 'random facts' from a table. Just a table of useful information and quotes.
The data would be something like:
>>>
The sound of a car horn is mostly in the "F" key.
<<<
I would like this to be displayed in a nice, simple but visual way on the N900.
Could someone help and point me to the easiest way to do this and perhaps to some resources that I could use?
Thx.
