MySQL LogoWelcome to the MySQL section on killerphp.com. My goal is to get you up and running with MySQL as quickly as possible so the we can get to using PHP with MySQL.

A little history about MySQL and PHP

PHP can work with many different database programs including:

  • MySQL
  • MS SQL Server
  • Oracle

.. among many others. So why concentrate on MySQL instead of one of the many other databases out there? For me, it comes down to two things:

  1. MySQL is common with web hosting companies. So that means that is the database you will likely be using.
  2. MySQL and PHP work very well together and by far, is the most used database with PHP.

So to get started, please read these two articles that cover some fundamental MySQL and general database concepts.

  1. Basic Database Terminology.
  2. What are databases?

Once you've read the two articles, you can then watch the MySQL video tutorials.
