Setting up the MySQL database

The WordPress software is a personal publishing system that uses a PHP/

MySQL platform, which provides everything you need to create your own blog
and publish your own content dynamically without knowing how to program
those pages. In short, all your content (options, posts, comments, and other
pertinent data) is stored in a MySQL database in your hosting account.

Every time visitors go to your blog to read your content, they make a request that’s sent to your server. The PHP programming language receives that request, obtains the requested information from the MySQL database, and then presents the requested information to your visitors through their Web browsers.
