I am want to process data from wikipedia database. Now I have some small MySQL databases for helping me to understand how can I use them. I am thinking about using CPP program to access data or/and PHP. Running Linux since January and still not starting to work with PHP I am looking for some advice.

In the maintenance/ subdirectory there are a number of command-line scripts which work within the MediaWiki framework; you may use these as samples if you wish.
