ODBC/MySQL

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/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
