ODBC/MySQL

I need to be able to connect to a database, namely MySQL.
I would like to do this via MySQL or ODBC, I would also prefer to be able to do as easily as you can do with PHP.
Is there a way?
I need this to be able to start looking at a server for a game I am slowly developing (once I get my head around Blitz of course).
I have now worked out tcp between two programs using a few methods, thanks to a few people here.
So I now want to play with receiving this data, adding it to the database and sending results back.
I want to be able to handle user accounts, details on their game state etc.
I want to use MySQL because I know it and use it alot in and outside work.

Thanks in advance, Mango

sounds like a cool project :)
I recently got into PHP and MySQL programming aswell..

No solutions to your problems though..

Oh.... If you want to build a game using MySQL, you have to make sure your audience installs a mysql engine on their machine...

I will have a look at BlitzData.

Well the actual server will handle the MySQL calls, so it would only needed to be installed if that user wants to host the game.

The game itself is going to be a space multiplayer strategy game, where you are in charge of your ship. But it has some twists to how you play... I look forward to have a demo in some months to come.
