+# MySQL RDB and PHP functions
+
+A small example of a PHP function that creates a table in a MySQL database and inserts a row into it.
+
+## Deploying
+
+1. Create a MySQL database from the Scaleway console.
+   1. Make sure to create a user as well.
+2. Create a new function namespace and a PHP function running using PHP 8.2
+3. Copy the contents of `handler.php` into the function code editor.
+4. Add the following environment variables to the function:
+   - `MYSQL_HOST`: The hostname of the MySQL database
+   - `MYSQL_USER`: The username of the MySQL user
+   - `MYSQL_PASSWORD`: The password of the MySQL user
+   - `MYSQL_DB`: The name of the MySQL database
+5. Deploy the function.
+6. Grab the function URL and use it to call the function.
+
+## Usage
+
+Call the function with a body to insert a row into the table.
+
+```console
+curl -X POST -d '{"email": "hello@acme.org"}' <function-url>
+Inserted hello@acme.org into the database
+```
