  1. SQL stands for 'Structured Query Language'. SQL is the language that is used by most modern databses (i.e. mySql, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, etc) to query in a database and manage database objects. However, the syntax of SQL varies slightly from database to database. PHP contains libraries that can be used to connect to most modern databases. PHP is probably most commonly used to connect to mySql, however it can be used to connect to other databses as well. Hope this helps.
  2. SQL(i assume you are refeing to MS SQL Server) and MYSQL are two diferent products. For product compatibility you should go to their individual website for product documentation.
