[Solved] PHP and MySQL are related to each other? [closed]

by


PHP is a programming language that’s primarily used for server-side web programming. MySQL is a relational database.

The reasons you see them used together are as follows:

  1. Both are free and open-source
  2. Both are widely available on most web hosts (even shared hosting providers)
  3. PHP is used to create dynamic web pages, while MySQL is used to store and access data in a more convenient manner than flat files (see “why are databases better than flat files”). They play complementary roles on a server

Used together, you can create interesting, dynamic web sites (Wikipedia), applications (Facebook), and frameworks (WordPress).
