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.
