Miva Merchant + PHP site

I was wondering if anyone here at DH has setup a Miva Merchant account to sell products and at the same time, on the same domain, have PHP/MySQL setup to also keep some simple records of those same products ?

Basically, I'm looking to build some extra functionality on the side with PHP (cgi) and wondering if anyone has tried this and been successful.

Regards.

I tried it. It works. But php will not work inside the Miva Script Pages. Everything else is as same as normal PHP / MySQL.

How did you fill in the info during miva configuration, when using MySQL? I've set up the mysql database, of course, but during miva configuration when choosing "MySQL (Native)" these fields exist to be filled in:

Database Type: <I'm choosing "MySQL (Native)" here>
Connection String: <*** What should this be? ***>
Username: <...of course I have this>
Password: <...and this>
Connection Flags: <*** What should this be? ***>

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
