How does facebook have stuff on multiple servers?
How does Facebook have our data across a whole network of servers? How is MySQL and PHP integrated?

Facebook has thousands of servers in multiple datacenters to store all date. They don't use MySQL which is way too lightweight to handle that amount of data.

They have their own sql engine which they call FQL, and you can find the list of some of the applications they use here: https://developers.facebook.com/opensource/
