A wide range of script apps are created to work with MySQL because it’s easy to work with, it works perfectly on a hosting server and it is universal as it can work with widely used web programming languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP) and on several server Operating Systems (Windows, Linux, UNIX). There are thousands of scripts that use MySQL, including extremely popular ones for instance WordPress, Moodle and Joomla™.
