 MySQL Tutorial Previous  Next  
 

We'll also use PHP, another scripting language. PHP is particularly adapted to writing Web applications, and it interfaces easily with databases. This allows you to run MySQL queries right from Web pages and to generate new pages that include the results of database queries. PHP works well with Apache (the most popular Web server in the world), making it easy to do things such as presenting a search form and displaying the results of the search.

MySQL integrates well with these tools and gives you the flexibility to choose how to combine them to achieve the ends you have in mind. You're not locked into some all-in-one suite's components that have highly touted "integration" capabilities but that actually work well only with each other.

And, finally, the big question—how much will all this cost? The League has a limited budget, after all. This may surprise you, but it probably won't cost anything. If you're familiar with the usual ken of database systems, you know that they're generally pretty pricey. By contrast, MySQL is usually free. (See the MySQL Reference Manual for specific details.) The other tools we'll use (Perl, DBI, PHP, Apache) are free, so, all things considered, you can put together a useful system quite inexpensively.
