How the hell do I connect to a MySQL database on my localhost, using MyODBC and retrieve data from it? It shouldn't be that hard, and all the search results bring up stuff about M$SQL server and/or ADO connections. I just want to be able to use the same database I have for both my data put there through my PHP scripts, and I want to then use my program to retrieve the data. I am making a mailing list-type program, but all my subscribers add their addresses to the mySQL DB.

Thanks for any answers, or any links to threads that actually have the right information in them.
