Submitting form to mysql database

Hello,
 
I have adobe live cycle designer. i want to take information submitted in a form and put that into a mysql database.
 
this is a complex question, but how would i do this? i don't have livecycle server. could i some how have the form exported as an xml and then read that xml data into the mysql database? possibly through php?
 
there are many levels to this i know. i think with the proper guidance i can figure it out. i know how to connect an html page via php to a mysql database. i figure if i take a live cycle form and open it in acrobat professional and export the xml schema then take that and build a database i would then need to somehow get the form connecting to the database and i imagine i could do that through php.
 
am i totally wrong? could i get some serious guidance? thank you!!!
