Well from a Coldfusion perspective... it's extremely easy.
In the Coldfusion administrator you set up a "Datasource" to your mySQL
Database. CF comes with a mySQL driver out of the box, all you do is
give it a name (eg mySQLDS), server, port, username, pw, etc...
then in CF you make a file called a CFC (Coldfusion Component), which is
just a text file and looks something like this in a very basic sense:
mycomponent.cfc
<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="getData" returnType="query" access="remote">
<cfquery name="myQuery" datasource="mySQLDS">
SELECT * from whatever
</cfquery>
<cfreturn myQuery>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
Then in Flex...
<mx:RemoteObject ... source="mycomponent">
<mx:Method name="getData" ..... />
</mx:RemoteObject>
And that cfc can also be a webservice as the same time just by basically
switching mx:RemoteObject to mx:WebService.
From a PHP perspective, this article may help
