    there's access, ado, oracle, sybase, interbase, frontbase, mssql, mysql, ocdb, postgres... there's just tons of them that are supported by php. you're not just limited to mysql. it just happens to be one of the more popular.

    Here is something I strongly suggest : ADODB. It's a php library based on the popular Windows Components(ActiveX if I'm right). It's really easy to use and offers an abstraction layer which permits you to switch databases without having to recode the smallest query.

    You should have a look at it. Here's the adresse :
    http://adodb.sourceforge.net/
