RE: [PHP-DB] Why use MySQL with PHP

Personally I prefer Sybase on Linux, version 11_0_3 is free for production use and easy to install. Sybase 11_0_3 is still a very powerful DBMS although a bit dated by now, Sybase just released version 12.5. Why "everyone" is using MySQL I don't know, could it be that mod_php is compiled with MySQL support? MySQL is free and there is a lot of support from the community since so many are using it. How would one go about making a mod_php with Sybase support also?

I'm hoping someone can help me, and tell me why the combination og PHP and MySQL is so common. What makes MySQL such a good choice when using PHP?
