Subject: mysql questions

Hello,
 I am a graduate student at Arizona State University, U.S.A.
I downloaded "Binary for solaris2.5.1 on sparc (sun)" distribution. I would
like to use mysql to create a publications database. I would like to write C
programs in order to access mysql, So I read the following part in the online
manual.

18 MySQL client tools and APIs

18.1 MySQL C API

The C API code is distributed with MySQL. It is included in the mysqlclient
library and allows C programs to access a database.

Many of the clients in the MySQL source distribution are written in C. If
you are looking for examples that demonstrate how to use the C API, take a
look at these clients.



After installing mysql, I could not find mysqlclient library, and I could not
find anything related to C API at all. There is a directory lib, but it
doesn't have what I need.

*** Can you send the procedure of writing, conpiling, and linking C programs
to
mysql "as soon as possible, please


*** One more question, I would like to query my database through the web.
How can I be connected from a web page with mysql
e.g.

I can write the following statement in html file
database.connect ("ORACLE", "databaseservername", "mypassword",
"databasename")

How can I do this using mysql?


Please, send the answers to siham@stripped , as soon as possible.
         
Thanks for your cooperation.
