Careful here ... PHP was not built with MySQL in mind ... hell, I used PHP
ages before it even *had* MySQL support (hell, before I even know about
Postgres95 *or* MySQL) ... also, if I recall reading on the PHP site, the
MySQL support that is included is limited, but I don't recall where I read
it. There is a recommendation *somewhere* that if you want to use all the
features, you ahve to install the MySQL libraries first ...
Just to defend PHP, cause, well ... I like it :)
