No. MySQL is completely independent.
There is a very large and still fast growing field of development, LAMP:
Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP.
http://www.onlamp.com/ The tools work very
well together, and will for a very long time since development of all
these is geared toward working together AND working with as many other
protocols as possible. For instance, I worked on a project that included
a DB2 database, which PHP could interface through an ODBC driver provided
by IBM. So it was a part LAMP and part LA[db2]P website. Since this is
Linux goodness, you can also write cron jobs that run php on the command
line, e-mail users, automatically submit e-mails into a MySQL table,
whatever.
I also highly recommend
