All script apps such as forums or web stores save their info in a database - a collection of cells and tables containing all of the website info including items, prices, comments, etc. Every time you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary info, then shows it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and amongst the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used simply because it works on a number of platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with a range of scripting languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python), not mentioning its amazing effectiveness even with large databases. Many popular platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to save their content.
