MySQL from Silverlight on Linux Server

I'm trying to access a MySQL database through Silverlight, and I know you can't do it directly, but the only way I know of is to use a WCF service. This won't run on the server I have, is there any other way to access the database (through PHP maybe)?

I am doing something like that without using WCF. Instead, I have created an ASP.Net page that grabs the requested data, formats it into a JSON "string", then returns it to Silverlight.

You should be able to access the db through any kind of webservice (not just WCF). The language you develop the service in is immaterial to silverlight.
