Since this is in the auto section I assume this is a rear door on a car not on the back door to your house like a few of the replys have.
You have a couple of options:
1) Take it to an auto glass place (or check the papers for one who comes to you)... problem solved
2) If you want to do it yourself is this a roll down window or one that is sealed to the frame. ?
For the first, remove the access panels in the door and lower the window. Remove what is left of the old glass and clean up the mess.
Reverse the procedure and install an new glass you have purchased from a auto glass shop OR simply go to a wreckers and buy one. (Thats a better idea since, if you 'pull' it you will learn how to do it without worry about damaging the car.
For the second case: Go on the internet and find out how the gasket that holds the glass can be installed. Usually it is with some soap and a string, but that is tough to explain here.
you will need to remove the gasket and apply it to the replacement glass and then slip it back into the door frame. (put a pillow on the ground on the other side.... just in case you push the glass THRU the door instead of INTO it.
.thats it.

Measure and order a piece of glass to fit the opening from any building supply or glass store. Remove all the broken glass. Remove the seal. Put in the new glass and a new seal. This is a fairly cheap job to have done professionally if you are nervous. If you take in pictures of your door a salesman at Home Depot would be happy to help you find the best tools and methods for your specific job.

How it is done will depend on whether you have an old wooden door or a new metal and plastic door. You can probably DIY with a wooden one, but you'd need a glazer for a newer one.
For the DIY, go to a home center like Home Depot or another hardware store and ask the staff. They can tell you. Before you go, measure the glass opening.
