What is MySQL? Can I install it myself? Where do I do that?
MySQL is a type of database. You cannot install it yourself - your host has to do this for you. Most domains hosted on paid packages will have this already installed as a feature; if you’re not sure how to access it, ask your host. However, almost no free hosts offer this, and I’m afraid you won’t be able to use PHPfanbase if you don’t have access to MySQL.

How do I access phpMyAdmin?
That depends on your host and control panel.
If you have cPanel, click on the MySQL Databases icon and scroll all the way to the bottom. The phpMyAdmin link is at the bottom. Some versions of cPanel will link phpMyAdmin on the front page, so have a look there first.
If you’re using Ensim, click in MySQL > MySQL Admin. That’ll lead you to a page with a link to MySQL Administration Tool. Click on it, and you’re in phpMyAdmin.
If you’re hosted by Dreamhost, just enter your database’s hostname into your browser, it will take you straight to phpMyAdmin.If you can’t find phpMyAdmin on your server, send your host an email and ask them about it.
