I have PHP running on my machine in Mac Tiger. I can do
elementary things like includes. But I now want to learn about
how to get a simple database going, how to maintain it.

There is a program, I understand, called MySQL. And that it is a
good idea to have it and install it and learn how to use it. Any
Mac people out there that can start me off with very specific
info, however short, on how to begin this quest of mine.

I don't even know if I have it? I don't think so. And it seems
not to be obviously on my OS DVD. I recall doing things like
removing comments in files in the library to turn on PHP. And I
know there is a test for whether PHP is running. Is there a test
for mySQL?

I also know there are a lot of tutes out there. For some reason,
an actual human is sometimes helpful to begin with.
