Same goes for AJAX and XML.
Apparently, it's a language. I thought it was just a nice, easy-to-integrate database.

Not really, you'll pick it up when you need it.

Oh drat. I can create a new database in PHP with:
mysql_query(CREATE DATABASE name, connection)

Now, how do I run that, exactly? Won't it create multiple instances of the same database, one for each time the page is loaded?

Yeah, create the database and populate the fields either with MySQL itself, or phpMyAdmin.

@sethixzonsalt
So you can use the database language outside the other language?

Just get phpMyAdmin, it's a visual SQL "control panel" in PHP. phpMyAdmin.net. -->Download>Extract to your website, into a folder named phpMyAdmin -> go into your browser, and go to localhost/phpMyAdmin -> Input your information ->???->Profit.

AJAX isn't really a language but more of a technique used to send HTTP Requests in the background. Just use phpMyAdmin to manage your MySQL database — it'll make your life easier.

... I hate you MySQL. Why don't you just WORK??? I'm getting two weird errors which, according to google, no one's figured out yet D:
1) I can't create a new account. Everyone claims "Fixed in MySQL tools x.x.x" Yeah right.
2) I can't connect to MySQL with PHP. I try using localhost and it says it can't find it. I try using IP with the root account and the root account's pas sword. Error saying I'm not connecting with the passw ord.

So, I can't make a new account and I can't use the root account. Oh yeah, I can't log in to phpMyAdmin either. Great...

Did you install PHP/MySQL to your computer?
Or are you using a free online host?

I installed it to my computer, as a test. (If you want my IP address: no).

*facepalm*
It's a really bad idea to do that if you've had no experience whatsoever with Apache/PHP/MySQL. Use XAMPP or use some other kind of free host. Google "free web hosting area." And click the first result.

Don't worry; I don't plan on making a website. I just want to get PHP to interact with MySQL. My PHP code is fine; it's just not connecting. I don't plan on running a website from my computer, lulz.

It's still a friendlier environment when everything's already set up for you.

Yes, I would think so. I just want to try to get PHP to interact with MySQL. I'm just making a simple "Register account" system. Once I get that up and running I'm stopping Apache and MySQL (probably, permanently).
