I’ve looked around on the web but I figured just to safe, I would ask someone who has knowledge about the details of MySQL and Apache.
I’ve used both before but I can’t seem to pick out the difference other then MySQL has somewhat of a GUI base to it via web browser for easy editing.
(Please, just don’t give me links, but explain a few difference between them. Though the links are welcome nonetheless, it won’t earn you any points just posting them.)

Mysql and Apache are two different things. Apache is a webserver. If you wanted to host a web site on your computer, then you would want Apache.
Mysql is a database that stores data in tables. The GUI that I think you are talking about is to administer mysql.
I hope this helps.
both are web servers
My SQL is windows based
and Apache is Linux based
Apache is a web server mostly known on linux system.
MySQL is a kind of database server, it can be running in lots of platforms, like linux, Mac, SunOS…it is mostly seen running on linux with Apache webserver.
If you are familiar with MS products—-IIS webserver and MS SQL database server, so Apache webserver and MySQL play the same role in some different OSs, mostly seen in Lunix system.
