Though PHP works emminently together with several dabatase backends, as well as its internal dBase ISAM driver it does not depend on them. It doesn't even depend on a web engine. I.e. you can use it for writing console mode apps. At least, you could when PHP3 was still new <g>. SquirrelMail is also written in PHP and does not rely on a DBMS either. In fact, it saves user settings in some sort of text file setup. At least, that's what I remember from my short peek behind the screens.
