You can access MySQL from PHP using PHP's ODBC functions (http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.odbc.php), it's MySQL functions (http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php), or an abstration layer such as ADODB (http://php.weblogs.com/adodb) The latter might be the best, as you trade a tiny loss of speed (but not nearly as much as when using odbc) for the ability to migrate to or support other databases than MySQL easily.
