This document provides an overview of using PHP and MySQL together. It discusses connecting to a MySQL database, selecting a database, issuing SQL statements, and iterating through result sets. It also provides examples of PHP scripts that connect to a MySQL database on an i5 account, run SQL queries to create tables and insert data, and access the data. Reusable PHP components and accessing form data are also covered at a high level. Sample SQL scripts are included to create tables for recordings and composers data.
