I've been tring unsuccessfully to find information on what each language, C and PHP, have to offer in terms of working with MySQL. Just wondering if anyone out there has preference for one or the other and why. I understand that PHP is supposed to have alot of built-in functionality to work with databases. I can't really find much out there about using C to manipulate databases though. Wouldn't a server-side C program be a more efficient program to run? Please post your thoughts, any would be appreciated!
