  PHP doesn't build databases. You CAN use it however, to grab data from sources like mySQL, Oracle, etc. You can even hook it up to Access, but that's a special case as you need to be hosted on a Windows box with the proper ODBC driver installed.

  I suggest you find out what your hosting service supports (or maybe even supplies). Your best bet is going to be a mySQL database because it's free. It doesn't have a GUI, but you can install a php program called PHP myAdmin that will create an interface that you can access from your browser.

  Here are some links to get you started:
