MySQL has been the "default" choice for a long time for PHP programmers. I don't know why.
It used to be free with less of a barrier to entry than postgres
LAMP indeed
We need LAPP . Stat!
Tutorials mostly.
@Scrollone @BrilliantantTurd4361 Because it used to be a lot faster than postgresql for smaller sites. MyISAM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MyISAM) was super lightweight, at the expense of the occasional corrupt database (oops).
I don't know how many new people are coming to PHP these days (as opposed to javascript/python/rust/etc), but certainly the older PHP coders grew up using mysql.
