Thanks a lot that's very clear...but you help me clear up some more? The reason I asked is because I got this new project that requires me to make a webpage with PHP that collects information from the dbs of ths new server we brought...SQL 2000 server. Like it is a SQL server so I thought I would need to know how to use PHP with SQL. That's when I got mixed up with mySQL and SQL. I started reading things that uses PHP and connects to mySQL...so like ...for my case I can't use mySQL right? because my server is not a mySQL server right? THen what do I need basically?...coz a SQL 2000 server uses a SQL Query Analyer to do the SQL statments right? DO you know what I want to do?
