You're really talking about two different pieces of a system.  For 
administrative access to a MySQL database I'd recommend using something 
like DbVisualizer or DBDesigner for migrating your data into a MySQL 
database.  The tools can also assist in setting up access rights for 
specific groups to specific tables.

I'm not sure where Z39.50 fits in.  For Z39.50 support you really need 
something that translates Z39.50 queries into SQL and then returns the 
result set in the expected format.

I do very little with PHP (I'm a Java programmer) so perhaps someone else 
can recommend a PHP solution for the patron interface.
