MySQL is a popular open-source relational database management system that is used by many large websites and content management systems. It can be used with PHP to build dynamic websites that retrieve and display data from the MySQL database. PHP connects to MySQL using extensions like MySQLi or PDO, which allow PHP code to execute SQL queries to get, insert, update and delete data in the MySQL database.
