    Not correct.

    You'll need to add MySQL support to your PHP installation with
--with-mysql, but you won't need to run a MySQL server on the same
machine.

    You'll then need to configure the MySQL server to allow
connections from your web server and write your script to do the
connection - both of which are out of the scope of this particular
list.  I'm sure you're aware how to do both anyway.
