I found the documentation for PHP and mySQL to be almost faultless. Nevertheless, the correct command is(i think)..
mysql_connect("myserver","bob","mypassword");
note: some servers don't allow (for security reasons), access from external machines. So you should use "localhost". Even if the server you're putting the PHP on is the server the mySQL db is on, the IP resolved will not be 127.0.0.1, so it might complain.
Whilst I was learning mySQL and PHP I wrote a (rather shoddy) text based web game, you can get it in the Delphi section(rather intuitive I know), on my site.

">look at cow"
"It is a cow."

EDIT: Also, where does CGI enter the picture. The php binary somehow involves CGI, but isn't CGI just a scripting language?
