commercial use of mysql interface

[Gary Petersen]

If I create a commercial web application in PHP that
uses mysql extensions (e.g. mysql_insert_id ()),
do I have to get a license for the commercial
version of mysql?

You can read MySQL AB's licensing policy here:

http://www.mysql.com/products/licensing.html

Unless you plan to package MySQL with your product, you don't have to pay,
but it would be courteous of you if you did (after all, you'll indirectly
be making money off MySQL).
