I think you can load MySQL in PHP by enabling it in php.ini.  Look through
that file for a line about mysql - might just need to uncomment it and
restart Apache.  It was covered on-list recently so you may find the
solution by searching the archives if php.ini doesn't tell you what you
need.

MySQL uses an authentication system totally independent of the operating
system's user access system.  See "privileges" in the mysql manual at
www.mysql.com.
