No.
I don't see why this _would_ be wonderful. It would require adding
interfacing for another DBMS, and would require independently developing
application code in PHP that already exists in GnuCash.
As near as I can tell, this would essentially amount to developing a
completely independent application that _might_ have vaguely similar database
schema. Only vaguely, because MySQL only implements a weak subset of SQL.
If you want to build a web-based financial application using PHP and MySQL,
why not download NOLA? It's already implemented.
