Jahanur,

 It's very easy to access the MySQL database from Apache using the PHP
scripting language. However, there isn't currently, any Web
development tool which approaches Dreamweaver Ultradev or Cold Fusion
(or Adobe's stuff) ease of use and web application development. Seems
to me a gap which needs filling, but I'm not sure. Perhaps I've
overlooked a tool. 

 The key for us is creating a website, where the 'assets' of the
website, i.e., images, text, organization of pages is part of a
database. End users ask us for a Web interface to update the pages,
modifying images, text or other components of their site.

 We do use PHP and MySQL to create dynamic websites. Linux I found out
tonight, has an interface to Cold Fusion. I'm continuing the research.

 Cheers,

 -Alex
