Using the API to access a Creator DB.

Using the API to access a Creator DB.

Hi. I and a coworker have spent quite a bit of time looking for info on this and haven't been able to find anything that works.

Here's what we're trying to do.
We signed up for the free ZOHO account.
We created a DB using Creator. It consists of names and addresses. The only way we want to use ZOHO is as a front end for entering data into this DB, kinda like Access. 
We want to then use this DB to fuel other web pages. So, if I have an entry in this DB named "FirstName", I need an example of how to, say, just list all the first names on a blank HTML (or PHP etc) page on a different domain NOT within ZOHO. 
Seems like a simple request, but I can't find info on it anywhere in the help or on the forums. I've found URL's that seem like they would return info, but none of them work. Can someone give me a step-by-step on what to do to display my data on a webpage?
